I thought this died with Spotify’s nerfing/killing of API access. I had a project going with Mopidy which relied on it that I just dusted off the other night after a year and it wouldn’t authenticate. Kept saying “requires Premium account” despite my account being Premium.

This uses librespot, not the original library that Spotify published and recently killed. Mopidy is also moving to librespot, but it's complicated with their gstreamer architecture (though I believe its mostly functional at this point).

Can't wait for mopidy to switch over - I have "Pirate Audio" PI hats that work are based around mopidy and I am not clever enough to figure out how to use the LCD screen with others.

Holidays are coming which means free time is coming! Hoping to finally get this fixed up and released.
