Spotify-Qt
https://github.com/xou816/spot
Also this one, which I've come around to quite like :)
ncspot is another amazing option if you're comfortable with the terminal.

Ok, I'm joining! BUT...
Spotify desktop client sucks. I'm using browser or Spot as alternatives.

Spot (Native Spotify client for GNOME) seems unmaintained.
Hello fellow GNOME enthusiasts. I think I'm not the only one that happily uses the beautiful native Spotify client Spot.

Trying to make e ink device with Linux. Kind of lost
If you want to run Spotify on a Raspberry (or PinePhone or some other device), there’s Spot, which is great, but kinda heavy and slow. There’s Spotify-qt which is faster, requires messing with Spotify developer dashboard, and UI doesn’t fit on small screens. Spotify-qt is itself based on Spotify-tui which runs in the terminal (pretty cool IMO). And a bare client/daemon is spotifyd. So you have quite a few choices there.

Spotify-Qt
On the other hand, this Rust-based one called Psst looks awesome and works: https://github.com/jpochyla/psst

Psst but currently very limited in features and have to build yourself.

Flatpak Spotify vs Tab in Firefox browser
Would like to add that you can also use clients such as spotify-qt and Spotify TUI to control said "device". There's also Spot and psst that are standalone (librespot not required but no Connect functionality).

Rust audio library
You can also take a look at Psst. I use Symphonia for decoding and CPAL or CubeB for output. CubeB is a bit nicer.

Druid app for public transport data
There‘s a Spotify client, psst, which has an Async widget (with a Promise state struct) that works very well for loading states etc. That project has a bunch of other tidbits and interesting patterns for Druid, I learned a ton from the code.

Advice for the next dozen Rust GUIs
Not that I'm in any way suggesting that you have to have to pursue this, but I'd suggest that not having this as a goal is why it hasn't happened. I've seen apps built with Druid (like https://github.com/jpochyla/psst) and they look great. But when I looked into the documentation, I was really struggling to get started. In contrast, libraries like Iced are quite limited in what they can do and are not as architecturally sound as Druid, but seem to have put more effort into the onboarding experience and documentation for beginners (see also: the effort that Rust itself puts into being beginner friendly, and how that has enabled it jump into the mainstream where other similar languages have remained niche).
