Description

Spotify has this Connect feature that allows one to play audio on other devices logged into the same account and control the playback remotely. I would love to see this feature beeing part of psst as I often like to use my pc to control playback on my phone that is connected to some speakers by cable or is just out of reach.

Contributor guide

Research direction
First, read through the issue comments (https://github.com/jpochyla/psst/issues/33) to understand previous discussion and potential API references. Then, study the psst codebase to see how audio playback and network communication are currently handled, focusing on files that interact with Spotify's API. Research the Spotify Connect protocol, possibly using librespot or similar open source implementations, and consider starting with device discovery and basic remote control functionality.
