I'm happy to announce Spotty, my next generation Spotify implementation for Squeezebox. Spotty has no dependency on mysqueezebox.com, nor player firmware, and supports all types of players. It is using the open-source librespot library (https://github.com/plietar/librespot) instead of the soon to be defunct libspotify.
Once you've installed Spotty from the plugins repository, you can safely un-install all other Spotify related plugins (official plugin, Triode's 3rd party plugin, Spotify Protocol Handler), as well as remove the Spotify app from your mysqueezebox.com account. Then go to Settings/Advanced/Spotty and follow the instructions. On platforms other than Windows you should be able to authorize the plugin using your mobile or desktop Spotify application. On Windows unfortunately you'll have to enter username/password (which are NOT stored in LMS). Spotty should run on MacOS, Windows (needs MS VC 2015 runtime!), and many Linux flavors (i686, x86_64, ARM HF & SF). It's known to run perfectly well on eg. Raspberry Pi 2/3. Unfortunately many NAS devices using ARMEL CPUs won't be supported (eg. ReadyNAS Duo/NX v2, some of the cheaper Synology devices). I'm currently running it on a piCorePlayer setup on Pi3, connected to the aforementioned ReadyNAS Duo v2 - and it's so much more faster than the NAS alone, it's worth it :-). Have fun!
