The problem

librespot-org/librespot#1623

Looks like Spotify changed something again on their servers and is causing librespot to stop playing tracks. I can successfully connect but tracks do not play. On initial connect there is a log that indicates setup of state failed: invalid state and a 400 bad request with the message that the client specified an invalid argument. Skipping to the next track causes librespot to fail with continuous "Track should be available, but no alternatives found"
