Additional context This issue on librespot indicates, that Spotify does not support authentication via username/password anymore. Maybe it is somehow related. librespot/issues/1308

I have the same issue. Switched to spotifyd for now.

spotifyd

Do you run it alongside hifiberry-os on RaspberryPi? If so, would you share any details?

Yes. I disabled spotify connect as described in the blog and activated spotifyd via extensions. Afterwards I entered my credentials.

I also have this problem with SpotifyConnect. For me it is under an older version of HifiberryOS . I'm afraid to change to HifiBerry64 where I could use SpotifyD. Or should I try this ?

This is what I did. I upgraded to HifiberryOS64 from a older version from 2023. Just use a second SD card and give it a try.

Works like a charm. At first it didnt work, cos in HifyberryOS64 I logged in with spotify-credentials..not needed for the Deamon !!

Hi This is discussed here https://support.hifiberry.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/21348779832605-Spotify-Connect-doesn-t-work-anymore-HifiberryOS-20230404?page=1. Chances are your issue will most likely have to do with the /etc/hosts file where ap-gew4.spotify.com is set to resolve to 104.199.65.124 . But that IP won't work.

So either comment out the line: nano /etc/hosts and change 104.199.65.124 ap-gew4.spotify.com into #104.199.65.124 ap-gew4.spotify.com OR fix it via the code where it got set. nano /usr/lib/systemd/system/spotify.service and remove the line ExecStartPre=/opt/hifiberry/bin/set-host-ip ap-gew4.spotify.com 104.199.65.124 then remove the current wrong resolved host by nano /etc/hosts and remove line 104.199.65.124 ap-gew4.spotify.com then reboot.

Repo wise, th is solved here: https://github.com/hifiberry/hifiberry-os/pull/577 but it will be for the 64 version I guess.

This manual fix worked for me. Now I can use Spotify Daemon again. I have a Raspberry Pi 3 and have updated to the new HifiBerryOS-64 Alpha. Spotify apparently no longer works with older versions of HifiBerryOS. This should be taken into account for further updates.

Unfortunately, the Spotify Connect doesn't work, so I can't establish a local connection.

Update: Sometimes Spotify Connect also works now.

Thank you @diederikdq . I came here after 2 hours of Googling and fumbling with Spotify connect not working, thinking it was an issue on my part because I had a switch of ISP last week.

Removed the set IP from the service unit file and from the hosts file, everything works again.

And now I am also aware a new version of HifiberryOS is coming up and this explains why the version I was running didn't get any updates anymore. What a night :) .
