I've only been using this for a few days... Seems to be working great thus far (Windows 7, Frodo 12.0), but one thing I have noticed is that songs which are greyed-out as "unavailable" in the Spotify client are listed in SpotyXBMC. If I click on one of these songs it freezes up and I have to alt-f4. Problem is that there is no way to tell which songs are like this within SpotyXBMC.

I built this from the frodo 12.1 branch last night and it seemed to work in terms of seeing my spotify playlists, playing music from them, and accessing "Top" spotify lists as well.
However, some features mentioned in the OP in this thread didn't seem to be available: namely, search results did not seem to include anything from spotify, and I didn't see the "Similar Artists" folder when browsing an artist's albums. I realize in retrospect I might have checked the Add-on settings to see if these features were off by default, and that it could also have to do with using the "Ace" skin - do some features require skin support?
In any case, I felt uncomfortable not using a "official" build, and I don't listen to Spotify that much anyway, so I returned to "stock" Frodo 12.1.

Same question is oBey. Can anyone build it with 12.2?

Thanks for helping out (I just follow directions, I still don't speak git!) - so after cloning spotyxbmc2.git I enter the new folder (still in git bash) and enter the command
$ git checkout Frodo_12.2
And then I go on with the build process?

Yes I think so.
Juste make sure to follow the guide in the Readme.md :
- Install libspotify
- add the file appkey.h

I usually follow the guide back from post 530 - it doesn't mention how to install libspotify. Might this step be unnecessary in windows - as it isn't described in the readme.md either. I'll give it a go!
