John, there is a parameter that, for the sake of simplicity (and also as a 'thank you' to moOde), configures the service to appear as "moOde Connect" within spotify. This is the --name parameter in the spotify-connect.sh file.
If you are planning on running several moOde raspberry pi's, the spotify services need to also be given different names (unless you only plan of turning one at a time, obviously). So, for people looking for multi-system setups, it would be best to have descriptive names like: "Connect Bedroom", or "Connect Livingroom", so that it is clear.
I suggest leaving the 'Connect' in so that you can differentiate the 'Connect' service with, for example, the Airplay receiver. Since I have both, I have found that my wife get's confused by "moOde Connect" and "moOde Airplay" actually playing music on the same device. But, at least by naming, this suggests what one is vs. the other.
So, again, this is only necessary for multi-moode systems. For single systems, the defaults are perfectly fine.
Does that make sense?
Best regards,
Rafa.
