Headless Spotify client for Spotify connect
Basically Raspotify but for windows.

Anyone annoyed with the lack of features? Spotify is resting on their laurels
If you have a raspberry pi, Raspotify works pretty great as a Connect receiver with a little tinkering.

Spotify player with fixed volume output
Raspotify installed on a raspberry pi would be my recommendation. Config allows you to normalise volume controls - have a read here: https://github.com/dtcooper/raspotify/wiki/Configuration

RaspberryPi Now Playing Dashboard using last.fm data and Airplay receiver
The last.fm site will work independently from airplay, so it will display whatever is playing, even if you are not using airplay to stream to your pi. Because it is just a standard Raspberry Pi OS running, you could also set it up as a MPD client https://linuxhint.com/raspberry-pi-music-station-mpd/ or https://github.com/dtcooper/raspotify. As long as you are submitting music to last.fm the song will display.

Spotifyd
Have tried this several times but I find it drops off the network as a remote play device.
If you have a PC with the Spotify app running, that appears as a remote play device to other clients.
Otherwise I found ncspot to be more reliable than spotifyd: https://github.com/hrkfdn/ncspot/

Alternative Spotify clients?
ncspot is good, although it's maybe the client least likely to mesh with the whole "let a music player control lights in my room" mentality.
