Since I wrote that I've had three outages - but, with fixed IP I am able to reconnect, so something you are doing is working to reconnect 
You're a marvel!
I think I'm going to go for a drive... my lovely little Alfa is going to a new home soon... and I live at the end of a long and very windy road. I'll go and check out how many slips there are and whether any trees have come down. Sheep are about to burst, hopefully I will have some new lambs before I leave!

Does anyone have an easy script or tool to automatically reconnect WiFi?
We get a LOT of small power outages and the Pi comes up much quicker than the router, resulting in an isolated Pi.
Maybe you could look at this as a ToDo? If wifi doesn't connect for, say, 2M then go back to AP mode?
Or maybe I'm just grumpy - it took three reboots in the middle of the night before I went and unplugged my Pi - damned auto-start >.<
I think I've counted about eight since 8am... it's only 10
Hi Mike,
Its sort of an edge case to deal with but one approach would be have some code in Worker.php (runs every 3 secs) ping the Gateway address for each interface and then down/up the interface if the ping fails. Eventually, when the ping is successful i.e., Router comes back up, that final iface down/up will grab afresh DHCP address.
Maybe a feature "LAN/WiFi reconnect" ?

OK,
but not completely apparently.
Just one Squeezelite access (and LMS stopped), and MDP playing is possible, even with "Squeezelite session active".
On my Pi3 with USB attached storage I like LL / FIFO with the performance profile set to remove dynamic CPU scaling and even underclock things in config.txt but I use it with a spdif hat rather than a dac and don't oversample anything so mpd isn't doing a lot of work. There's no such thing as a free lunch, the low latency kernels sacrifice performance to get those results, if you're working your Pi hard they might not be a good fit.
moode.local won't work on an Android device. Better to use the IP address as the link.

@Tim...Definitely grumpy ;-) ..
Or the effect of wild weather on ones patience...
We have 130kmh + raging winds at the moment....
Unfortunately Zoot's on a Hill while we're in a Valley so no probs here..
That's assuming he's not in Borneo right this minute
No, you're right. It's been horrendous the last two nights. Borneo as soon as the Alfa has a new owner
Sure, but this was on OSX (sorry, I forgot to mention it).
On my android, I prefer to use Bubble UPnP.

I get the same result. Tim somehow manages to get name resolution without a domain. I've never been able to.
Guys,
Anyone have tried the Librespot with 3.8.2 (fresh install)?
During setup, I'm getting the error message when enabling the service:
pi@moodesalon:~ $ sudo systemctl enable spotify-connect.service
Failed to execute operation: Bad message
I'm using the same config as with previous versions: PiZero with PlainDAC+
3.8.2 is the first 3.8 I'm using (Librespot was working on 3.7)

Have a look at the logs, they will tell you what the cause of the error is.
syslog in /var/log
you can look at the whole log: 'cat syslog'
you can watch a 'live' presentation of the last 10 syslog entries, updated: 'tail -f syslog' (ctrl+c to exit)
you can look through the log and only show errors, a specific executable, etc.: 'cat syslog|grep spotify' or 'cat syslog|grep error' for example.
I would start by performing a 'tail-f syslog' and then in another terminal window execute 'sudo systemctl enable spotify-connect.service' and see what happens in the other window.
If you don't get enough info, turn on debugging and do it again.

Thanks!
I've been blind when installing it today
The syslog told me, exactly, what I missed.
It was me, missing opening [ in the config file
It's ok now.
Excellent!
It's worth going through the raspberrypi.org basic training on Linux. If school kids can do it

If your Router has dynamic DNS then it will resolve host names i.e, moode
