From the looks of it, ~/.cache/credentials.json:auth_data contain a base64 string, how does it handle this? I'm asking this for a friend (discordo maintainer)

It is stored using authentication blob. More details: https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/blob/dev/docs/authentication.md#zeroconf-based-authentication. I'm not too familiar with the scheme though, If you want a more in-depth explanation, I would recommend reaching out the librespot library's maintainer.
