Like Songs Without Opening Spotify While sim racing

💡 Overview
Good songs show up at inconvenient times. Tabbing out of a race is simply not an option.
The popup includes a heart toggle that mirrors your Liked Songs state on the Web Player. Tap it, or press L inside the popup, to like or unlike the current track. The change is reflected immediately, so you can save a song and carry on without ever opening the Spotify tab.
