Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/335

I just noticed that Spotify web-api does not require a username parameter any more when fetching a playlist or playlist tracks.

On the master branch currently, these functions require a user parameter which isn't needed any more:

get-playlist
github.com/plamere/spotipy@4c2c1d763a/spotipy/client.py (L373)

get-playlist-tracks
github.com/plamere/spotipy@4c2c1d763a/spotipy/client.py (L385-L386)

Seems like Spotify also supports the old way of fetching playlist (with user parameter) but we should probably change the functions to not accept user parameter any more and change the API calls to appropriate endpoints.

Looks like they rolled the changes back for the time being:
"Update: Due to technical issues, we have rolled back the change originally scheduled for 11th September 2018. We will communicate a new date for the change as soon as we have one."

Hey guys, I guess this change to playlist URIs will be happening (again) in a couple of days (28th February 2019). Spotify's original announcement did say they'd leave the old endpoints 'until further notice' but maybe it's worth assuming their usual incompetence and merge https://github.com/plamere/spotipy/pull/320 ?
