Hey, I've been using spotify-tui for a while and I think it would be a killer feature to also be able to play local files and mix them into your regular playlists (the adding to playlists feature might be harder to implement so its not necessary). I'm happy to contribute, but I have some questions:

How does spotify-tui currently do audio playback? I assume its actually passes through spotifyd or the actual spotify client which is what actually plays the audio. If this is the case, would it be feasible to use an external library for audio playback of local files?
How should the local files feature fit into the UI?
