Metadata and keys should be stored in cache as well, in something like an sqlite database.

Audio keys are now cached (85903a0).
Metadata isn't yet.

@plietar given that it's a connect implementation (always online), and metadata is fairly lightweight, is it worth the trouble?

Closing this as a non-issue. librespot is primarily a connect client in it's current form, thus metadata caching is semi pointless when it's always online. In the event that it is being used as a library by another program, each program's requirements will be different, and thus the optimal caching strategy will likely differ between projects, and should be left up to them to implement. What's important is that librespot provides the interface for metadata retrieval. Closing, can be reopened if there is disagreement with this.
