Michael, great that you are looking into a SPH replacement. 

Here is my opinion:

I prefer to have covers and metadata, even if this means no direct
access of Squeezeboxen over the native Spotify app as "Spotify Connect"
players.

>> Would one be able to control all of Spotify's

>built in to the player firmware and the SPH plugin, but a new

This would be my preferred option.

>> Since I am not a programmer I would be willing to help with software

>I hope to have some test version available soon.

Happy to test as well - I run LMS on Windows 10.
