Feature Request: Add ID-based Metadata Retrieval for Tracks and Albums

[alanoy]

Add support for retrieving metadata through ID parameters in get_track and get_album methods.

Just the ID? I’ve been told to take the full URL and fetch it directly from that.

I readed the documentation, the two apis are /albums/{id} and /tracks/{id}

No that's not what I mean, what I'm trying to say is should the parameter take the full URL instead? That’s what most people typically expect.

You’re right; this approach would make it more convenient to use.
