See pull request 1341 on librespot
MPRIS is a standard way on linux of letting other applications know and control (play/pause, skip/previous song) what music is playing.
This is done by sending the song title, artist and even location to thumbnail via D-Bus.
The D-Bus also allows for pub-sub like messaging.
The specification of MPRIS can be found here: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/mpris-spec/latest/
