I've got the same problem. The playlist sync don't work so you can only see your starred songs. All songs out of other playlists aren't downloaded anymore (if u do). That means no songs are available offline. Please fix it. Thanks

It seems that spotify has eventually broken the support for libspotify (Which lasted longer than expected). The webpage is gone: https://developer.spotify.com/technologies/libspotify/ And other projects have the same issues: https://github.com/mopidy/mopidy-spotify/issues/182 and https://github.com/mopidy/mopidy-spotify/issues/184

Currently the only options seem to be:

Use the android app :(
Use the web-playback-sdk (No EME in qtwebkit on jolla + No download possible)
Wait for projects such as https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot to pickup steam (thou you might not be able to publish to the jolla store with a rust dependency)

It's explicitly playlist support that was just killed in libspotify, playback is still OK (for now). You can use Spotify's Web API to lookup a playlist and then feed those tracks into libspotify for playback just like before.

The libspotify binaries are still available at https://mopidy.github.io/libspotify-archive/ if you need them. Of course that won't help anyone who needs an application key.

I won't pretend to know anything about the Jolla store but there's also https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot-golang if that's any help.

If you are unhappy about the state of Spotify's current native playback library (or lack of) I strongly suggest you tell them so :)

Sorry for that. I currently have no intention to continue developing CuteSpot. Using a new lib would be a major task, I would have to invest days to achieve this. Then there is the risk that 3rd party libs are blocked etc. I don't have the time at hand to do this. But I'm willing to accept PRs. I might also still have some API and libspotify libs if someone wants to try.
