First off, thanks so much for this project. I've been using it for a Spotify controller and album art display.

I may be entirely mistaken, but I recall that Spotify allows returning of 600x600 art URLs, as well as 300x300. I'm using your websocket API to listen for metadata events to pull out the 'album_cover_url' from the data. It appears that the URL provided is always the 300x300 image.

Any chance we could add a configuration for a larger art URL? Or, maybe we always return the largest of the art URLs?

Thanks!

Any chance we could add a configuration for a larger art URL? Or, maybe we always return the _largest_ of the art URLs? Thanks!

You can use official web API from spotify (via web-api passthrough: see #66) and use http://yourIP:3678/web-api/v1/me/player address for curl or webbrowser
