thanks for the fast reply! well oddly enough, the small cover images always displayed in the playlist section of yatse even in the past, but never the large covers. i remember tolriq pointing out that this had to do with a line of code somewhere having the source = an empty field or something like that. i am hardly a coder but that is what I remember. I will attempt to dig around and find the specific quote as it may or may not aid in a solution. thanks again, mazkolain! looking forward to the inevitable day yatse displays album covers thanks you both your and tolriq's hard work! 
btw minor issue i noticed with newest frodo beta on win7...when returning from the visualization screen back into spotimc, the album cover of the artist playing disappears and will reappear after leaving the playlist and returning back. also i noticed on the yatse remote in the playlist section, it is NO longer editable...if you move a track it just goes right back to it's original position! thanks for looking into these and lmk if i can provide any more feedback or screen shots! thanks again. :]
I initially thought that this was due to the fact that Spotimc generated thumbnail urls using 127.0.0.1 as the host component, but that was not the case. As @
Tolriq pointed out, Spotimc sets the thumbnail fields properly, but for some unknown reason this field appears empty on JSON responses. Perhaps Spotimc still omits some essential data that should be present on the track information. Will continue investigating.

Edit: I removed the addon_data\script.audio.spotimc , now it worked again.
Playlist loading issues where fixed some time ago, but it's true that it still may take ages to load if you have many of them.

I am running Ede with he Aeon nox skin. That skin has an Artist Image visualization you can use when music is playing...it pulls images based on arist playing and randomly displays them. I have gotten this to work sporadically with spotimc, like once he first day i installed it - but never since. I have tried all configurations in both spipotimc and the aris program add on.
Does anyone hav any ideas about how/if its possible for this to reliably work?
There are some issues with tracks featuring many artists, as Spotimc sets this information separated by commas. This may cause some fanart loaders to fail identifying the artist properly.

Suggestion:
Allow the user to browse XBMC while the add-on is running.
As said on previous posts this is a pretty much requested feature, but not currently achievable as this requires lots of effort.

And please consider making the skin according to the standards. Not only do I now run into this problem, I prefer having everything in a similar style of my choosing. I believe xbmc suffers if this will become more common. I of course appreciate it very much that you are making this plugin though, I just think that decision is a mistake.
[edit]
I reinstalled the skin, it is not a lot of fun to have to set up everything again 
This really shouldn't even be possible imo, a plugin should not touch any other files.
I'm really sorry it ended up corrupting your skin. Spotimc will patch some skin files on runtime in order to provide custom fonts and make use of layout includes (in order to avoid cluttering the layout files), and will restore them to their original state when the addon is closed. What probably happened there is that Spotimc crashed during shutdown while it was restoring these files.
And regarding to the design decision to make a custom ui for it (instead of making a standard one like others do), there are many reasons for that. First of all, I think that the standard gui XBMC provides for making plugins is great, but it's very limited in terms of design decisions an addon developer can take. Using the standard gui, an addon ends up being a mere content provider, and many features that do not fit on this layout end up without being implemented. I really appreciate the work of plugin developers, but I believe that the features provided by the Spotify api should not be implemented this way.
And again, sorry if Spotimc corrupted your skin. I've made some recent changes to avoid this issue but it seems that there is something on the shutdown process that keeps causing this. Could be possible to see a log file of the crash?

Running xbmc beta 1 now on Mountal Lion, and application itself work (login, browsing etc) but playback just gives bunch of static noise =(
Sorry, I forgot this issue completely!
Spotimc serves music streams to XBMC as as plain wave files. Could you please try playing an standalone wave file and check out if the results are the same? Thanks for the remainder!
