The Ubuntu community on Reddit. You could use libspotify in a deamon. The issue is that at the moment only a small number of whitelisted deamons exists for ubuntu (if I recall correctly these are all deamons that come with ubuntu touch itself, like the media playing demon), unlike android where every app can create it's own deamons. An iphone 6 (ios 8.4) that plays music from spotify to airplay speakers - a laptop running ubuntu 14.04 Both devices run the latest spotify app (from apple appstore on the phone, spotify repository on the laptop) and are connected to the same wifi network. I used to be able to see and control what's playing on my phone from the desktop app.
