The way they’ve handled the deprecation of libspotify is appalling. As you said I’m grateful that they opened their API up to use by others, but ever since libspotify got canned developing native apps around Spotify has become more and more dicey and restricted, with the most notable feature omission being streaming. Worse, they’ve been promising a replacement for years now and it still has yet to arrive.

It’s disappointing that the only truly developer-friendly music service on the market has decided to clam up like they have.

Completely agreed. Libspotify/libcspotify was one of the most promising parts of Spotify’s API, and it was left to die in a hole, with promises of revival, but no actual intent.
