This appears to have been last addressed a year ago here:
Accessing Spotify Metadata API from within a Spotify app?

It seems that the cocoalibspotify API has been worked on a lot since then, but can someone confirm that we still have to fall back to using the Spotify web API in iOS for users without Spotify accounts to be able to search and view metadata for albums and artists?

Everything appears to work when a user is logged via the API (using [SPSession attemptLoginWithUserName]), but when doing for example, [SPAsyncLoading waitUntilLoaded] on an SPTrack, it times out unless you’re logged in.

    No, for CocoaLibSpotify to work at all, you need to have a logged-in user. The Web API is the only way to access metadata without this.
