Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui/issues/20

I installed spt under Ubuntu 19.04 inside a virtualbox. I was able to connect spt to spotify. E.g. I can see a couple of play lists, I added. But as soon as I tray to play a song, I get the following error message.

Api response: No device_id selected
If you are trying to play a track, make sure the official

$ spt --version
spotify-tui 0.4.0

//EDIT: After I started the spotify desktop app on one of my computers, this computer showed up as a device i can select. After that I can control the playback on that device, but I can't play music where I installed spotify tui. I do have a couple of connected sonos devices here in my network, they don't get detected.

//EDIT2: Ahaaaaa, when you maximize the terminal with spotify tui some explanations get shown. It's like responsive website. But the problem is, that the wrapping doesn't work properly. With a small window, there's no text at all. If you make the window bigger, the text will be cut. Only when you maximize the terminal application, you'll see the whole text.

Need to figure out how to make the text wrap.

I might reduce the amount of margin in this view, to accomodate small terminal sizes.
