    Cool to see someone who worked on this :) Back in the day I wrote a (probably really bad, not a C/C++ developer) wrapper around libspotify for Node.js: https://github.com/FrontierPsychiatrist/node-spotify

    At some point it could do enough for me to build a webapp with Node.js running on a Rapsberry Pi to stream Spotify.

    I even got contacted by Spotify to take down the domain node-spotify.com for it.
