If you run into a bug when using librespot, please search the existing issues before opening a new one. Bugs and issues with the underlying library should still be reported as issues. We have recently started using Github discussions for general questions and feature requests, as they are a more natural medium for such cases, and allow for upvoting to prioritize feature development.

If you wish to learn more about how librespot works overall, the best way is to simply read the code, and ask any questions you have in our Gitter Room.
