Proper 'Controls Disabled' Feedback for Freemium Users

[rwinebar]

I'm not able to see the play/pause controls when hovering over the player? Am I not supposed to see the play/pause/next controls here?

Are you using a free Spotify account? With free accounts, the Spotify API doesn't allow us to control playback (prev/pause/next). Is that the case?

Ah, I am using a free Spotify account! I thought I'd still be able to play/pause, if not skip. Got it, thanks!

No worries, I think I'll leave this bug open and have better feedback for the user when using a free account. Something along the lines of having a small tooltip when hovering over the playback controls (Playback controls disabled for freemium accounts)
