The Spotify connection method depends on mDNS (also known as Avahi or Bonjour) to advertise the renderer.
Besides Tim's command-line test to see if the Spotify renderer is running, you could also do this from the command line to see how the renderer is advertising itself:
In this case, the moOde player I'm working from has the hostname 'moodeLR' (case doesn't matter in hostnames).
What you see here is a compound command that says browse for all avahi services on the LAN and select out of the output only those lines with 'spotify' in them.
Note that the output shows the player I'm working from, with the name I gave it in the Spotify config menu, 'MoodeLR Spotify'.
The output also shows another moOde player and, cryptically, a Facebook Connect Portal gadget my SO just received from her son.
What does this command show when run from your moOde player's command line?

PS - you can reach the command line either by opening moOde's Web SSH terminal (see System config) or by using ssh, or PuTTY, or such, from another host. Either way, log in as user 'pi'.
