I was looking at the docs of RPI ( https://docs.mopidy.com/en/latest/installation/raspberrypi/ ).
I discovered that rpi4 is not mentioned anywhere yet, as this is the new model! Is it even compatible yet?

Use the latest Debian Buster release of Raspbian. I've updated our installation docs to point to the buster list, which might have been causing a problem. I just followed these steps myself on a Pi 4 and it installed without error.

I mean, we say it runs on all models. Which it does. So yes, it's compatible. If you think what we have is somehow unclear please feel free to submit a PR.

I've modified the docs so we don't need to keep updating to mention new versions. Please do submit a PR (to the master branch) if you think it still could be improved.

Hmm, just been working with the RPI4 today, and I have been stuck with a dependency missing to (mopidy-spotify), unfortunally I lost the error when I tried to format the sdcard (I will come back later to that), but i still remember it partially: It was unmeet dependencies that were not going to be installed. It seems that this will not install to Raspbian Buster...

Then I will continue to the sdcard-story:
When i was trying to get Raspbian Stretch, i noticed one little detail:
It references to this article that mentions this:

The Raspberry Pi 4 has an SPI-attached EEPROM (4MBits/512KB), which contains code to boot up the system and replaces bootcode.bin previously found in the boot partition of the SD card. Note that if a bootcode.bin is present in the boot partition of the SD card in a Pi 4, it is ignored.

Well, it seems like you have to downgrade to Raspbian Stretch from a Raspbian Buster to follow this article ?

Use the latest Debian Buster release of Raspbian. I've updated our installation docs to point to the buster list, which might have been causing a problem. I just followed these steps myself on a Pi 4 and it installed without error.

Sweet, will do some day soon. I am currently moving tommorrow. Thanks for help! :D Lovely response on this project! Kudos!

It worked for me as well now! :D
