(after all, if someone wants to know what song is playing, simply look at the Spotify app on your phone/tablet)
I was also thinking about having Spotify playing while moOde shows its nowplaying screen with the proper metadata and album-art...
Absolutely. That's the whole idea. It is just "eye candy" though. There is no real practical use.
I can see it being more useful for people with a screen attached to their Pi. It would look nice.
In my specific use case, I use the browser on my iPad to operate moOde. When I switch to Spotify streaming, I use the Spotify app on my iPad (which I connect to libre-spot running in moOde). There is no reason to visit the moOde webui unless I want to disconnect Spotify and play something from my local library, so it doesn't matter much to me what is displayed on the moOde webui. The Spotify app shows me everything.
It would look nice (pretty) and I can see why some people would want it.
If play/pause, skip/next, etc could be integrated, now that would be much more practical.
