I've also changed various passwords, including my Google and Paypal account. I'm so glad I refuse to link websites and apps to my Facebook account, God knows what they could have done if I had a habit of doing that.

Good you found out in time.
Smart choice to not use Google/Facebook or any other site to authenticate logins on a different site.
Now, I beg the question: why didn't the hacker change your password, e-mail, and/or other recovery options? You'd effectively have lost your account and Spotify would have to step in to recover or block it.
