I am trying to start playback on a device using

current = sp.devices()['devices'][0]['id']
sp.start_playback(track, device_id=current)

It errors saying that I passed more than 1 id? How can that be possible.
The ID is '5434252d-e980-4422-9a69-49401104e929_amzn_1'

Full Traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 57, in getTrackID
    self.playsong(tid)
  File "main.py", line 84, in playsong
    sp.start_playback(track, device_id=current)
TypeError: start_playback() got multiple values for argument 'device_id'

Look closely at the parameters for start_playback:

github.com/plamere/spotipy@9a627e88f4/spotipy/client.py (L1728-L1770)

Ah. I really should have read that better. Thanks for helping. ^^
