Spotify Token

It needs a Spotify token with the following scopes:

streaming
user-read-email
user-read-private
user-read-playback-state (to read other devices' status)
user-modify-playback-state (to update other devices)

If you want to show the Favorite button (💚) you'll need the additional scopes:

user-library-read
user-library-modify

Please refer to Spotify's Web API docs for more information.

This library doesn't handle token generation and expiration. You'll need to handle that by yourself.

Styling
