You /might/ be able to find Spotiamb. It was a Winamp like Spotify client written by a Spotify developer when they used to support libspotify. Obviously Spotify have killed all libspotify development now and I don't know if Spotiamb even works now.

There is librespot [1] if you want to try and do something yourself though, it's a reverse engineered client for Spotify's protocol which Spotify so far doesn't seem to care to kill off.

Not that I know of, don't imagine Spotify being happy with that either.

I don’t think they have a problem with clients integrating support for Spotify Premium. Multiple different open source media players support Spotify Premium.

On the other hand I think they are very opposed to other clients supporting Spotify Free, which is understandable.
