Is there a way to notice when a device connects / disconnects?
and could we supply some kind of state file for tracking?
what i have in mind is another argument to enable that feature and if enabled create a file where librespot writes the current state (like the proc file system on linux just a single line which gets updated on state changes)
example content of that file:

Device connects:
"connected"

Device disconnects:
"noendpoint"

Device disconnects and no music playing or end of playlist:
"noendpointnotplaying"

Agreed, this is a must have for the library given that it is going to be standalone. As per the gitter chat, here is a list of possible event emitters that it would be good to have:

Track Start
Track Finish
Track Change
Track Play
Track Pause
Track Stop
Track Rewind/Fast Forward
Track Seek Position
Track Shuffle/Repeat enabled/disabled
Device Connected [See above]
Device Disconnected [See above]
Device Disconnected no music [See above]
Current Track Metadata
Playlist Metadata [Track, Artist, Album, Duration]
Queue updated
Queue Metadata
Volume Up/Down

I'm sure there are more, but I think this is more than good enough to start with.

Native Spotify clients seem to periodically report playback progress to their servers, maybe that's another possible event (some kind of a heartbeat).

There are also a couple error events, like not authorized (anymore), song not available in target market, too many requests, premium required, app key invalid/banned...

Good point, I forgot about the errors.

Closing this, as it comes under the broader issue of Metadata, which is being tracked in #7
