Please a Mute/Unmute toggle to the playback controls that appear when hovering over the Spotify icon in the OS taskbar. As it is, we can skip tracks and play/pause while hovering in the taskbar, but there is no way to quickly silence the audio fully opening the app window or using the system-wide volume control button on the keyboard. Most of the time I'm not within reach of my keyboard, but, due to the nature of my work, I do have a wireless mouse in-hand at all times. Adding a mute button here would provide faster, more convenient control for your multitasking users, like me. I say this after hunting down batteries to put in my wireless keyboard to have it close to me just to hit the mute button when an ad comes on (and never fails to be WAY louder than the music was, by the way...you know what I mean..."SWEET cheezits WHY is this lady--stop it. STOP YELLING AT ME!!!" -me, when an ad comes on. Every. Single. Time. It makes me jump. This is two suggestions in one. This one was a surprise complaint with an implied suggestion. A surplied complaiggestion. That is all.)
