Lomb-Scargle periodogram for Processing, ported from Matlab code, so it's very idiosyncratic and non-idiomatic. Original code published in "Ice Ages and Astronomical Causes: Data, Spectral Analysis and Mechanisms" available at http://books.google.com/books?id=P8ideTkMQisC&pg=PA289&dq=spectral+lomb+scargle&hl=en
float[] hann(float[] x) {
int n = x.length;
float[] result = new float[n];
for(int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
float weight = .5 * (1 - cos((TWO_PI * i) / (n - 1)));
result[i] = x[i] * weight;
}
return result;
}

Scrape a list of Spotify track IDs for JSON and preview URLs. Can handle very large lists of tracks by using subdirectories based on the track ID. Picks up where it lefts off. Ignores errors during downloading.
