Spotify Info

Gets metadata from spotify using a spicetify extension using websockets

I made this mainly for my audio visualizer to have song info display along with it since Windows doesn't offer anyway to do this, on Linux I could use MPRIS, for macOS no idea I don't use it

This will work for all desktop platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS)

Plans

• [ ] Improve Documentation
• [ ] Make instructions easy to understand for regular users
• [x] ~~Async/Await support~~
• [ ] Wait for new messages (currently when you call Handle::read, it gets the latest)
• [ ] Track Length and Position support
• [ ] When the track was created
• [ ] What playlist the track is in
