First, libffi is provided by OS X by default. The Homebrew formula for libffi is "keg-only". Do you know for a fact that the libffi bundled with OS X isn't good enough?

Second, instructions about libffi, which is a cffi/pyspotify dep, should not be in the middle of the libspotify section.

Fair enough, I'm very sorry for the hasty pull request. I'll create an issue later instead. libffi is indeed provided by OS X, I had some weird error and don't have the logs at hand. Sorry for the inconvenience.

OK, thanks for the confirmation. I removed the unnecessary sudo.
