Notes

• Spotify requires Premium for most playback features
• Speaker names must be quoted in catt commands
• If speakers don't show in spogo device list, they may need to be actively playing first
• Use spogo --json for machine-readable output when parsing results
• Always check spogo status before trying to control playback to see if anything is active
