Music Service Account Management Example

This example demonstrates how to manage music streaming service accounts and network music library connections on Bose SoundTouch devices.

Overview

The SoundTouch device can store credentials for various music streaming services and network music libraries. This allows you to:

  • Add streaming service accounts (Spotify, Pandora, Amazon Music, Deezer, iHeartRadio)
  • Configure network music libraries (NAS/UPnP/DLNA servers)
  • Remove accounts when no longer needed
  • List currently configured accounts

Running the Example

  1. Update the device IP address in main.go:

    config := &client.Config{
        Host:    "192.168.1.100", // Replace with your device IP
        Port:    8090,
        Timeout: 10 * time.Second,
    }
    
  2. Run the example:

    go run main.go
    

Supported Music Services

Streaming Services (require username/password)

  • Spotify Premium: Personal Spotify accounts
  • Pandora: Pandora Music Service accounts
  • Amazon Music: Amazon Music accounts
  • Deezer Premium: Deezer subscription accounts
  • iHeartRadio: iHeartRadio accounts

Network Music Libraries (no password required)

  • STORED_MUSIC: NAS, UPnP, and DLNA media servers
  • LOCAL_MUSIC: Local music servers

Key Features Demonstrated

1. Adding Accounts

// Convenience methods for popular services
err := client.AddSpotifyAccount("user@spotify.com", "password")
err := client.AddPandoraAccount("username", "password")
err := client.AddAmazonMusicAccount("username", "password")

// Generic method for any service
credentials := models.NewMusicServiceCredentials("TIDAL", "Tidal HiFi", "user", "pass")
err := client.SetMusicServiceAccount(credentials)

// Network music library (no password needed)
err := client.AddStoredMusicAccount("server-guid/0", "My Music Server")

2. Removing Accounts

// Convenience methods
err := client.RemoveSpotifyAccount("user@spotify.com")
err := client.RemovePandoraAccount("username")

// Generic removal method
credentials := models.NewSpotifyCredentials("user@spotify.com", "") // Empty password = removal
err := client.RemoveMusicServiceAccount(credentials)

3. Validating Credentials

credentials := models.NewSpotifyCredentials("user", "pass")
if err := credentials.Validate(); err != nil {
    log.Fatal("Invalid credentials:", err)
}

4. Checking Account Status

sources, err := client.GetSources()
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

// Look for sources with accounts configured
for _, source := range sources.Sources {
    if source.SourceAccount != "" {
        fmt.Printf("Service: %s, Account: %s, Status: %s\n", 
            source.Source, source.SourceAccount, source.Status)
    }
}

CLI Usage Examples

After setting up accounts programmatically, you can also manage them via the CLI:

# List configured accounts
soundtouch-cli --host 192.168.1.10 account list

# Add accounts via CLI
soundtouch-cli --host 192.168.1.10 account add-spotify --user user@spotify.com --password mypass
soundtouch-cli --host 192.168.1.10 account add-pandora --user pandora_user --password pandora_pass
soundtouch-cli --host 192.168.1.10 account add-nas --user "guid/0" --name "My NAS"

# Remove accounts
soundtouch-cli --host 192.168.1.10 account remove-spotify --user user@spotify.com

Network Music Libraries

For STORED_MUSIC (NAS/UPnP) services:

  1. The user field should contain the UPnP server GUID followed by /0
  2. You can find the GUID by discovering UPnP devices on your network
  3. No password is required
  4. You can specify a custom display name for the library

Example GUID format: d09708a1-5953-44bc-a413-123456789012/0

Error Handling

The example includes comprehensive error handling for common scenarios:

  • Network connectivity issues
  • Invalid credentials
  • Missing required fields
  • Service-specific authentication failures

Security Notes

  • Credentials are sent securely to the SoundTouch device over your local network
  • The device stores encrypted credentials internally
  • Passwords are only required during the initial setup
  • Use the removal methods to completely delete stored credentials

Next Steps

After configuring accounts:

  1. Use source list to verify services are available
  2. Use source select to choose a music service
  3. Use browse commands to explore content
  4. Use play commands to start playback
