I've just posted another version to the repository which should be
available for download now.

Changes in this version are:
- added support for starring tracks through context menu and through
shuffle icon on Touch for radio/random mixes
- controller playback
- improved playback ui interaction (should now be able to press play
from album/playlist level and play the whole album/playlist)
- improved randomness of artist mixes
- fix playlist artwork for IE users
- display error message on search which returns no results
- attempt to automatically start ppc binary on 10.5 macs (workaround to
libspotify not working on intel 10.5 mac)
- other internal changes aimed at improving cases causing playback to
fail

The most signifcant new feature in this release is the ability to
star/unstar tracks from the context menu.  I've introduced this as I
find I want to mark tracks I like when listening to radio streams or
similar artist streams, but don't necessarily want to go searching for
them at that time.  By using the spotify star mechanism, this should be
synchronised with your spotify library and you can then go and search
for these artists in more detail later - either through the plugin or
using another spotify client.  On Touch using the touch skin when it is
playing a spotify radio stream you can star a track, just by touching
the "thumb's up" icon.  When playing a non radio stream you can do this
via the context menu as the shuffle icon is required.  All other cases
you can star the track using the context menu.

As I think this is now geting close to feature complete I'm calling it
1.0rc1 and will be looking to call it a release soon...  I'll put it in
the main 3rd party list at that point so people don't need to have my
test repo listed on their plugin page.  

Thanks for people for testing upto this point - please keep posting
bugs here as there are definately more to find (it's getting quite
complex to support 3 different platforms and multiple os versions.) 
Specifically please post any major bugs with this version so I don't
move to release without fixing them.
