Your playback quality is still (I consider, severely) restricted[1], among other features I might not be aware of. They might also start injecting ads into the audio stream soon, if they realise ad blocking methods are popular (Twitch has done this for example).

You can use the spotifyd lightweight daemon client to play the audio, but control it from a browser session.

spotifyd requires spotify premium though.
