Ruby FFI bindings for [libspotify][]
====================================
The libspotify C API package allows third party developers to write
applications that utilize the Spotify music streaming service.
[Spotify][] is a really nice music streaming service, and being able to interact with it in an API is awesome. However, because libspotify is a C library, writing applications with it is cumbersome and error-prone compared to doing it in Ruby. As I found myself needing to do this one day, knowing I’d rather not be writing it in C, this gem was born.
Spotify, the gem, is a thin layer of Ruby atop the [libspotify][] C library. It allows developers to use libspotify without writing a line of C, thanks to [Ruby FFI](https://rubygems.org/gems/ffi). Do note that there is no sugar-coating, and no attempts of abstraction will be made. If you want a library that is easier to use, you should have a look at [Hallon](https://github.com/Burgestrand/Hallon).
(anecdotal note: this code base was previously a part of Hallon, but I decided to extract it and make a gem out of it)

You’re in luck! I’ve got you covered in the wiki, just [visit its main page](https://github.com/Burgestrand/libspotify-ruby/wiki)!
A note about versioning scheme
------------------------------
Given a version `X.Y.Z`, each segment corresponds to:
- X reflects supported libspotify version (0.0.7 => 7)
- Y is increased **only** on non-backwards-compatible bug fixes or feature additions
- Z is increased on backwards-compatible bug fixes or feature additions
When X increases (support for new libspotify versions) there are **no guarantees** of backwards-compatibility.
