Remove genius dependency

[JosiahParry]

heya! I'm not longer maintaining the genius library and want to archive it on CRAN. The package hasn't worked appropriately for quite some time. Can we remove the genius dependency so I can archive the package without taking down spotifyr?

@JosiahParry hey! Hope all is well. No worries - feel free to go ahead and archive, and I'll monitor and update.

I just tried devtools::install_github('charlie86/spotifyr') and I got this message:

ERROR: dependency ‘genius’ is not available for package ‘spotifyr’

Is there a way to install spotifyr?

[JosiahParry]

This is my fault. I'll work on a PR to fix at the moment. Install genius first, (even though it doesn't work).

devtools::install_github("josiahparry/genius")
devtools::install_github("charlie86/spotifyr")

Hi Josiah,

I am now maintaining the CRAN process, and there are a few small changes that should go into the next full CRAN release, as there are a few other pull requests that need to be incorporated.

Unless @charlie86 wants to do it, I gladly remove the genius dependency. Also, if you want to keep genius as a package on CRAN but lack time to maintain it, I can take over the maintainer role there, too.

Even in this case, removing the genius as a dependency is safer than writing a vignette on how the two packages can work in harmony.

Best regards,
Daniel

@antaldaniel PR is made. The only change I think that is worth double checking is get_album_data() since this is no longer returning lyrics it may cause backward compatible breaking changes. The rest is unchanged.
