This is an unofficial archive of the latest libspotify releases from Spotify, as Spotify as of May 2018 no longer hosts these files themselves.
In May 2015, libspotify was deprecated by Spotify and active maintenance stopped. At this point, libspotify had been the main way to integrate with Spotify for six years, and was part of numerous open source projects and commercial applications, including many receivers and even cars. It remained the only API for playback outside Android and iOS.
In February 2016, server side changes to the Spotify API caused the search functionality to stop working, without Spotify ever acknowledging it. Users could work around this by using the Spotify web API for searches and libspotify for playback.
In April 2022, Spotify announced that they would sunset the libspotify API one month later.
In May 2022, new libspotify connections to Spotify started failing.
These are the latest available releases for each CPU architecture, all released around 2012.
