Describe the bug
Saw that librespot is not available anymore this morning after having run for days without errors. I was sleeping and it crashed (no music was playing)

So it didn't really crash. Your network stopped working for a bit and librespot could not (immediately) reconnect, but rather than retrying, the session connection network failure causes spirc to return an error and the program to then exit. This does look like a bug in the connection retrying, librespot should handle spirc network-related errors differently as they might be recoverable.

I'll add

Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=5s

and report back if that fixed it.

I guess it's fixed. Still a few other weird issues – I will look into those now. Thx!

Hey there, which file is this? /etc/systemd/system.conf?
