Neat, but I seriously hope that it doesn’t become popular enough to force Spotify to combat client reimplementations such as librespot, which this is based on.
Also Mopidy, which lets you use Spotify from any MPD client.
I suspect that secretly there are some people at Spotify who are sympathetic to open source and/or use Linux, and have convinced the business people and bean counters that not being openly hostile to free software is good business.
I have mixed feeling about Spotify in general, but it's still not as "closed" of a platform as it could be, and I'm at least a little bit happy about that.
