Media Center costs money, but the plugin would not, and would not be distributed with the program.

If the plugin worked with other applications, they might be able to get away with it.

I think if the plugin was only good with MC, that Spotify Legal would take a dim view of that clear end-run around the rules.  Not to mention that developing such a thing would take time and effort, which could all be for naught if Spotify decides to revoke your API key for any reason.

So... I don't think it is likely at all, without a change in terms from Spotify (or them suddenly coming around and returning emails).

Again, though... If some user developed a plugin for MC, that would almost certainly be "legit" and allowed.

I just compiled and installed the Spotify plugin for Jamcast and got my local library showing up in JRiver MC using the Jamcast DLNA server as a source library.

As was just mentioned else where here, adding Jamcast dynamic playlist support over DLNA would address the Spotify issue and open up a whole pile of other possibilities through the Jamcast server.

Found another couple of work arounds that some might appreciate.

Bit perfect asio player for Spotify.
Hook it to the JRiver MC asio driver and bobs your uncle.

For remote control of Spotify using wasapi live loopback in JRiver MC.
Use the native Spotify App with remoteless to control Spotify from a mobile device and use the live loopback to play through JRiver DSP audio engine.
(Remoteless App for iPhone, android etc)

remoteless also works with:
Grooveshark, Deezer, Pandora, Spotify and Airfoil....
Which means you can also use your phone/tablet to control them and do Wasapi live loopback in JRiver MC.
