Yes, unfortunately Spotify disabled libspotify today, see [Sunset of libspotify on May 16, 2022 | Spotify for Developers](https://developer.spotify.com/community/news/2022/04/12/libspotify-sunset/). There’s currently no workaround for Mopidy-Spotify.

It’s possible that if we could patch the `system_information_string` being used in libspotify’s `ClientResponseEncrypted` that might be enough. But I’m not sure if that’s possible/realisitic to do… And I don’t time to spend trying right now. Time is probably better spent moving to something based on librespot.
