Arne Morten Kvarving <cptspiff-AT-gmail.com> (a.k.a. spiff, a.k.a. cptspiff) have forked XBMC and added binary addon support to it which is exacly what SpotyXBMC2 needs to run legally and be distributed precompiled, and he is looking for people to help him with his fork

Above account on GitHub and source code is his even though he announced his fork with his old username

FYI, if your concern is that libspotify C API library from Spotify themselves is not open source then you can use an open source library version of libspotify from the despotify or respotify projects as a 1:1 replacement library as they have reverse engineered it

You still need a paid premium account for Spotify to stream content but they do support offline files to your library too, so you can download it and it will be just like buying non-DRM mp3 files online, all fully legal.

Again this could be a good proof of concept
