Still necessary for Mode 6.4.0?

[Ramblurr]

New Moode user here. Booted up 6.4.0 for the first time, and Spotify Connect seems to work out of the box (once enabled under Audio settings).

Is this repo integrated into the main release now? Does it offer something different? Did I miss something?

Sorry for the late reply!

Moode uses librespot, which, up until recently, lacked gapless playback. Moode DOES NOT use this repo at all, nor the libraries it is built upon.

That said, librespot has now added gapless playback, so this repo may very well be obsolete. If you can confirm gapless playback when playing, for example, a concert CD where the applause is not clipped from one song to the other, then there is no need for this repo. Also, if you never listen to such music (for me it was Opera the main driver for this), then you may not need the extra hassle to implement this solution.
