Hello,

Thanks for a great project.

I am working on a docker compose project with go-librespot, mopidy and a small node.js app to juggle the two and normalise websocket events.

One thing I've noticed I can't do with go-librespot that I can with mopidy is create a "new-track" event like this with album and artist uris:

"track": {
  "uri": "spotify:track:4nzyOwogJuWn1s6QuGFZ6w",
  "name": "My Name Is Jonas",
  "length": 204293,
  "artists": [
    {
      "uri": "spotify:artist:3jOstUTkEu2JkjvRdBA5Gu",
      "name": "Weezer"
    }
  ],
  "album": {
    "uri": "spotify:album:1xpGyKyV26uPstk1Elgp9Q",
    "name": "Weezer"
  }
}

This allows me to create a timeline where I can link off to the artist(s) and album.

Is this possible?

Cheers.

The websocket metadata event provides the track URI, you can then use that in combination with the /web-api/<...> endopoint to get stuff from the Spotify Web API.

Aha, why didn't I think of that. I've got that hooked up, thanks.
