Description

Ellow @jtokoph @m-cat @benjifs, love this plugin, but I have a suggestion to improve it.

I often listen to Spotify Radio of my playlists to discover new music. It would help to see a heart icon on the right of the current track name in the top menu to see if the current track is already added to my liked tracks or not.

So, if I hear a tune I like, I don't have to switch to Spotify just to check if I have this track in my library already.

Thanks!

Research direction

Start with 001-spotify.10s.sh and inspect how it obtains and displays the current Spotify track in the xbar menu. Determine how the plugin can identify whether that track is in the user's liked tracks, then verify that the menu shows a heart indicator for the liked state without disrupting the existing track display.
