[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). +Spotify, the gem, is a thin layer of Ruby atop the [libspotify][] C library.
