Spotify for MODX

Spotify for MODX brings the popular streaming music service to your MODX websites. This snippet lets you add a basic pre-styled player widget to a page, or roll your own playlist based on a search or lookup of a specific artist, track or album.

The snippet is a mash-up of the Spotify Play Button and Spotify Web API. Please note: the "extras" parameter in lookup mode is not currently supported (it returns TONS of data and needs some special caching attention that I haven't had time to investigate), but it should be in a future version. Most other API functionality should work fine.
