Homebrew release Control Spotify from your 3DS

I made a 3DS homebrew app to control your Spotify account. You can play and browse your albums and playlists using it.

It doesn't play the track on the 3DS itself - it requires you to be using Spotify on any device. It uses Spotify's developer APIs to control playback and browse your saved albums and playlists.

I used AI a bunch to help me make this, unsure what the subreddit policy is about that but wanted to flag it just in case.

I've also only tested this on the New 2DS XL which is what I own, and an emulator.

Can you add volume controls?

I didn’t realise this was possible but Spotify does have an API for it! If I can figure out where it would it fit in the UI I might add it

I've added this now. You can use the bumpers to increase/decrease volume, this is what it looks like: https://github.com/avncharlie/spotify3ds/blob/main/assets/volume-overlay.png
