spop crash: failed to load plugin

The debug info you posted indicate a failure in opening the ALSA device located at Card 1 (which - I suppose, going by the other thread you opened) - is the NAD D 3020 Hybrid amplifier).
Can you please try to switch to one of the Raspberry's native outputs in the MPD page and try again to playback one of your Spotify playlists?
If that works, then it could be that your amplifier working as a DAC is not correctly recognized in ALSA - in which case some more debugging will be needed.
Thanks.

Can now confirm spop happily sends sound to the Pi analog audio output.

But nothing on the USB output.

Debug info available here:



Note that I had to boot the Pi with the usb unplugged to get spotify work on the analog.

Thank you.

Thanks for having posted the debug info.
Taking a skin-deep look at the outputs it *should* be relatively easy to enable hw volume control for the NAD device.
The only thing which jumps out as odd is the mpc outputs command, which spits out a '166.error: Connection refused' message.
I'll send you a PM tomorrow in order to hopefully get this addressed (I'll need your help in changing some files on your RuneAudio device and conduct some tests).
That is, of course, only if you have some time available (should not take long, in any case.
Thanks.
