Depricated Web API endpoints

[Nqtural]

Background

On November 27, 2024, Spotify deprecated some of their Web API endpoints. Two of those endpoints, Related Artists and Get Featured Playlists, affected this project. Two issues arose:

1. Selecting "Made For You" results in error
2. Error when doing "play recommendations for song/artist"

The first one was resolved in release v0.34.5, where all Get Featured Playlists endpoints were replaced with their Discover equivalents.

The second one is not resolved yet. A decision has to be made on how to resolve the deprecated Related Artists endpoint.

Resolution of #28

At this point, the deprecated Related Artists endpoint is blocking the
"Play recommendations for song/artist" feature, and a decision needs to be made
on how to proceed.

Currently, there are three possible approaches:

1. Remove the feature entirely

   • Simplest option, but results in a loss of functionality.

2. Build a workaround

   • Likely more complex and potentially less accurate than the original feature.

3. Replace the feature with a similar one

   • Introduce a different recommendation-style feature that does not rely on deprecated endpoints.

Ideas or suggestions on how to proceed are greatly appreciated.

I think either option 1 or option 3 would be the best choice. I'd lean more towards option 3 bcs I would rather not remove it completely

Do you have any ideas on what feature could replace it?
