Don't do anything if the URL contains any of the following, else - `/embed/`: Embedded playlists - `/embed?`: Legacy embed playlist format - `/log/`: Requests to Spotify's analytics 3.

Remove the protocol and domain part together with the first slash and 4.

Replace those with `spotify:` and 5.

Redirect to that URL and 7.

3 * Don't touch embedded links, so that websites that embed a playlist can do so without having Spotify trying to open the link automatically.
