This was originally built for personal use because i was getting tired of switching to the application mid coding session and is sharing here because of intrest from friends code needs clean up be gentle
download the script
add source ~/Path/To/Spoty.zsh to your .zshrc file and should be able to start using it
e.g. source ~/Desktop/spoty/Spoty.zsh
-
Play music by giving it song name or song name & artist name and pulling the track id using Spotify API and passing it to the application or calling the API to directly play (tho id figure this would cause some problems) another issue is that if i use the API friends and what not would have to go thru the whole proccess of setting up the API on their own machine
-
returns a artist top songs and lets u pick what to play (same issue as above would need to use API)
-
Update terminal tab with song title automaticly | cron job? while loop + sleep ?
currently it only updates when u call a basic play command
If spoty is runned with out an argument it will toggle Play/Pause or if the application is close it will open it
