Sonos

For Sonos support you need to install SoCo, a Python Sonos Controller, pip install soco. You also need to adjust the IP address to your speaker inside current_track.py. You can find the IP address by going to "About Sonos" inside the Sonos desktop application.

Album art is a bit slow to render, but they work.
