How will the client access Spotify? #3

Since our cloud platform runs node express to create a Restful API, the pi will connect that way, and be given instructions on what to stream. This issue is about actually streaming it once told "what to do" from our express restful API.

The big question is: Is there a Linux Spotify client that we can script in any way?

The pi needs to be able to

play a song when handed a link.
skip a song when told to by the API
have some sort of small interface for logging in as a Spotify user? So that songs can be played through their own account? (Configuration of Rasp Pi client)

That's pretty much it right?
