Chartbeat Spotify Application. Very beta :)

Prerequisites
=============

You need a [Spotify developer account](https://developer.spotify.com/technologies/apps/#developer-account) to use the application.

Installation
============

mkdir ~/Spotify
cd ~/Spotify
git clone [email protected]:chartbeat/spotifyapp.git apps-chartbeat
(restart Spotify)
enter 'spotify:app:chartbeat' in the Search box

Known Issues
============

Not a lot of time was spent on this, so there are *plenty* of issues :)

* it seems like you can't "favorite" a developer app, at least not on
OS X, so you have to search for the app on each app start. Pretty
tedious.

* the app plays the song over and over as long as you are over the
threshold. Obviously not optimal.

* it is fairly unclear what the lifetime of a Spotify app actually is,
since
[the docs](https://developer.spotify.com/technologies/apps/guidelines/integration/#applicationlifetime)
are clearly wrong. Currently on OS X, the app works fine "in the background".
