ToDo

• Improve stability
• Add Autoplay function to go on playing songs after the first one is finished

• Add contenthash to js files for improved caching
• Create robust mobile version (currently a very bad workaround is in place here)
• Reduce own queries to spotify and instead leverage the capabilities of the Spotify Web Playback SDK
