Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/devgianlu/go-librespot/issues/152

For my go-librespot-based squeezebox I am only missing a few features:

(in progress) smart shuffle.
(not important, nice for later) display the next song / retrieval of the play queue.
being able to play from a stopped state or switch playlists

To enable the 3rd feature, ideally the go-librespot API has an endpoint to retrieve Spotify URI's of the playlists belonging to the connected account, maybe even the last played URI so that we can 'resume' where it last left off.

I am unfamiliar with Spotify's API and librespot's codebase, but if these tasks seem doable with some pointers I would be up to working on a PR to add this.

My advice to use the API passthrough (https://github.com/devgianlu/go-librespot/pull/66) to contact the official API (https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api).

Yeah that works great... 🕳🐰

I think then the issue is probably more about enhancing the API docs - make a clear distinction between the features of the WebSocket, the REST API and the API passthrough for newcomers. I can submit a PR for this at some point
