WORKAROUND: I solved this by installing pyspotifyctypes systemwide

git clone https://github.com/mazkolain/pyspotify-ctypes.git
cd pyspotify-ctypes
sudo python setup.py install

after that everything worked fine. So i guess there is something wrong with the one included

I was having this problem too, on a raspberry pi using raspbmc, and resolved it with a symbolic link to the PyspotifyCtypes.egg

pi@raspbmc:$ cd /home/pi/.xbmc/addons/plugin.audio.spotlight/resources/libs/ pi@raspbmc:$ ln -s PyspotifyCtypes-0.6-py2.4.egg PyspotifyCtypes.egg

I compared the instalation of spotlight and spotimc, and figured out that in spotimc, the PyspotifyCtypes.egg file had a different name, so I tested the symbolic link... and it works!!!
