This usually means that your librespot library is out of date. This can happen to the Python module version if you don't upgrade the requirements.txt when updating Zotify. Theoretically, it shouldn't be possible to have this issue with the pipx version. Are you including --force when updating the pipx version?

Yep looks like that was the issue! I cleared out my old libraries and after reinstalling, the zotify command works as normal.
