The new direction you're talking about with promontis could be one of the greatest updates to XBMC in a while, certainly to the music section.
It may be worth making a new thread on the development section of the forum with links to your current work and your thoughts on the future of an integrated music section for XBMC. You may attract some other talented coders there and also the attention/aide of Team XBMC members.
Glad you have got it working, the missing metadata is because of the way libspotify provides the data, you can say that libspotify provides most of the data "one level to deep" for how we use it in XBMC. For instance the artist art is not available until you browse the artist for albums and the album details is not visible until you browse that albums for its tracks.
It could be solved by loading all albums currently listen in the background and update the view as the data loads, but it is not done now, maybe later
