Hi :)
First of all thanks a lot for the wrapper, I love it and it's very useful to me!

For some reason I don't get the preview_urls for tracks with authorization using the client credentials flow. Using the authorization code flow it works fine. All other values like id, popularity etc. work just fine, just preview_url is empty. I tested it with getTrack(s) and getAlbum(s) Any idea what this could be?

Example request:

$track = $api->getAlbum( '3msNbiI057b6ypzeOTjgxJ', [ 'market' => 'de' ] );

Thanks a lot!!

Hey!
Thank you for the kind words! :)

According to Spotify the preview_url field can be null for a variety of reasons. My guess is that you need a user's info to see the preview_url values.
