libspotify archive
This is an unofficial archive of the latest libspotify releases from Spotify, as Spotify as of May 2018 no longer hosts these files themselves.
Deprecation
Note that as of May 2015 libspotify is officially deprecated by Spotify and is no longer actively maintained.
Spotify has published newer libraries intended for Android and iOS development, as well as web APIs to access track metadata and manage playlists. Though, for making apps with Spotify playback capabilities, on any other platform than Android and iOS, there is currently no alternative to libspotify.
libspotify has been the main way of integrating with Spotify since 2009, and is today a part of numerous open source projects and commercial applications, including many receivers and even cars. There's no guarantees, but one can hope that the large deployment of libspotify means that the library will continue to work with the Spotify service for a long time into the future.
