Dont worry then, now I know what it's doing I can live with it. You can work on selecting albums and artists from the search instead
I've just finished the first version and is testing it a bit. It looks promising but I've chosen a slightly different approach than the one you are suggesting now.

To me, it makes more sense to perform a search based on the currently playing song. This way you can easily find more from the same artist or the album the song is from.

To do another search based on a search result is, in my mind, something else.

After a bit more testing I am very happy with the client. Was able to listen to spotify all the way home from work without any real issues. I did get a few breaks in playback but I suspect that I was in an area with weak signal and the buffer was trying to keep up with playback. I have the cache enabled so I guess that wont be an issue once songs are cached.
Songs are not cached more than in memory while playing. There is no "offline handling" of song data, only of cover art and playlists.

I haven't experimented with the buffer size in despotify to keep the number of variables down but this is also a possibility.
