Unexpected Exit and Terminal Display Issues in ncspot with Spotify Free Account

[kelvinauta]

Describe the bug
When using ncspot with a Spotify Free account, the application unexpectedly exits without any message for the user, leading to confusion. The terminal also displays strange characters upon certain actions like clicking or pressing keys.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open a terminal session using the kitty terminal.
2. Use the Zsh shell.
3. Launch ncspot with a Spotify Free account.
4. Perform actions like clicking or pressing any key.
5. Observe the terminal output and application crash.

Expected behavior
The application should display an error message indicating that "ncspot does not work with Spotify Free, a Premium account is required" instead of crashing.

Try to install it with Cargo instead of yay or pacman, use version
1.2 https://crates.io/crates/ncspot

Using credentials from an account that does not have premium causes ncspot to crash. Since it seems to be an unhandled librespot_core exception issue I would expect it to be a problem even with cached credentials - meaning if premium on a linked account were to expire, ncspot would suddenly stop functioning with no error message.
