Is there an existential threat looming? Could Spotify make an API change that would completely break libespot and Spotifyd? Any insights as to why/why not that might be likely?

Also, any plans to add the ability to save the tracks that are streamed? (for e.g. offline playback or for exporting to mp3 etc.)

I don’t think so; we’ve never had a regression related to the Spotify api that I’m aware of. I know librespot has big plans in the near future to switch to a newer version of the Spotify api so I think we’ll be good for now.

Definitely no plans for saving tracks.

I hope not. Sounds like a great way to provoke Spotify into a breaking API change.
