Unable to play artists from Spotify #762

Hello!

I'm trying to play an artist from Spotify using the artist's URI (of the format spotify:artist:3YQKmKGau1PzlVlkL1iodx), but I'm getting an error whenever I try to invoke it with this syntax: http://localhost:5005/ZONE/spotify/now/spotify:artist:3YQKmKGau1PzlVlkL1iodx

The error I get is:

Error: Got status 500 when invoking /MediaRenderer/AVTransport/Control
    at Object.invoke (/home/pi/node-sonos-http-api/node_modules/sonos-discovery/lib/helpers/soap.js:99:10)
    at Player.addURIToQueue (/home/pi/node-sonos-http-api/node_modules/sonos-discovery/lib/models/Player.js:616:15)
    at promise.then (/home/pi/node-sonos-http-api/lib/actions/spotify.js:36:33)

I tried to change the parameter to http://localhost:5005/ZONE/spotify/now/spotify:user:spotify:artist:3YQKmKGau1PzlVlkL1iodx and it still didn't work.

I'm able to play albums, playlists, and tracks through the API, just not artists.

Probably because artists doesn't have an explicit song list to begin with. It's just a URI pointing to an artist page in Spotify. The notion of top tracks is something else. I haven't looked into how the top tracks are dealt with in regards to Spotify, or if it is possible.

Got it. Thank you for this amazing API!
