MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for spotify-connect-web [2]:

Python 2 based Git VCS package without a proper name suffix. Last
updated in 2017. Development discontinued in 2018. [a]

This ARM 32-bit package was a third-party web client for Spotify, to
be used with the old Raspberry Pi 2, based on cracking and reverse-
engineering the proprietary Spotify Connect protocol. [b] [c]

Development in the hacked Spotify library repo has also been
discontinued since 2019. [d]

Depends on four missing + one broken Python 2 package, so it is
unbuildable and unusable.

Maintainer has not responded to @carlosal1015's ping about it in Feb
2022.

I recommend to delete this deprecated hacked client for Spotify, as it
has been unmaintained and defunct for years now.
