Hi Michael.

I not only have many playlists over 200, but also have more than 200
playlists so I am limited there as well.  This limit is what is keeping
me using triode spotify until the last possible minute.

I have an api key.  Would it be possible to add something so I can enter
and use my own key, removing the rate limit issue for your key?  I had
written functionality that automates the lookup and creation of Spotify
playlists from LastFM libraries, and I typically process nearly 4000
transactions per minute without rate limiting.  When the rare rate
limiting does occur (appears to be related to overall Spotify system
load from what I have read), Spotify returns status code 429 and a
Retry-After to indicate the number of seconds to wait until sending more
requests.

If using other keys is possible, could you potentially remove the 200
limits?  With my own key, this would eliminate any rate limiting risk
with your common api key.

Thank you for your consideration.
