A C++ Wrapper for libspotify.

This was originally a fork from JimKnowler/libspotify-plusplus; however in the last few days I have refactored so much that I don't hope to merge it back again.

Dependencies

• libspotify 12 (as provided by spotify)
• boost c++ libraries
• boos threadpool (not official part of boost, available here
• log4cplus
• A C++ compiler which has the same level of support for C++11 as VC++ 2012 does
• CMake 2.8
• python at least 2.6 in order to run the style checker.

I'm just starting, but it is obvious that I will be using boost.test in order to do unit tests, before requesting a pull, be sure that all tests pass. If you need to modify a test for some reason, please contact me and we will discuss it.

I try to follow google styleguide with some exceptions. Lines are allowed to be 120 characters long, indentation is 4 characters, indentation for the keywords public, proteted and private are two spaces. Don't indent namespaces, please! C++ is ok as it is boost.

When boost and C++11 stl offer the same functionality, choose the stl (I know, I still use the boost shared pointers, I haven't change them yet).

• Change the GetType functions of the PlayListElement for visitor functions
• Favor Observers over inheritance as was done in the original.
• Moreover, use signals/slots ala Qt, using boost signals instead of observers.

Spotify/Disc

• be able to ask an album for the number of discs that it contains
• be able to obtain a 'disc' object for each of them (with references to the tracks in parent album)

?? Cache raw pointers in look-up table, or associate userdata with them?

• so that we can always return the same C++ handle for the same artist/track/album etc
  • i.e. when retrieving Album from a track, and from an ArtistBrowse

Different behaviour on spottily objects while they are loading

• throw exception?

Refactor IsLoading() as HasLoaded() to match libspotify

• perhaps refactor all functions to more closely match libspotify api

"Loaded Callbacks" where supported
