The following configuration values are available:

spotify/enabled: If the Spotify extension should be enabled or not. Defaults to true.

The tracks for these playlists will be downloaded and available for play back when mopidy is unable to connect to spotify. The option takes a comma separated list of playlists to mark as offline. Items can be regular expression. Examples:
```
- offline_playlists = My play list, My list2
    My play list and My list2 playlists will be marked offline
