Volumio Spotify Connect

NOTE: I no longer maintain this plugin - please open issues at the Volumio plugin repo

This Volumio plugin utilises vollibrespot to provide better integration of Spotify Connect in Volumio.

As always, it is being actively developed - some features are still WIP.

cd ./volspotconnect2
