Use as Web Player Controller #144

I'm currently controlling Spotify on my Web Browser through the Official Player, iPhone, Casted TV and iPod Classic JS. The issue is it won't display what's currently playing on iPod Classic JS and if I try to play a song from iPod Classic JS, it cuts the audio from either the iPhone or the Casted TV. After that audio will only play on iPod Classic JS and the Spotify Player devices will show that as an audio source out. Anyway it can be used as visualizer/player and it won't affect the other devices?

Hey! So this is something I'm aware of, but am unable to fix given the limitations of the API for the system that allows devices to know what each other are playing (called Spotify Connect).

Perhaps the API has improved and it would be possible to use it on this project, but I've been strapped for time due to other obligations and probably won't get to this at any point soon. Feel free to look into it if you're curious though! It's all open source :)
