spotify-control
A CLI for Spotify Connect. I built this so that I could use it with skhd to be able to control whichever Spotify Connect device happens to be playing, without having to have the Spotify Desktop Client open.
Installing
npm install --global @hughrawlinson/spotify-control
Config
A json file called ~/.config/spotify-control.json, containing a client_id and client_secret. You can register a client id and secret at developer.spotify.com/dashboard. You can specify an alternative file using the -c flag.
From there, you run spotify-control login, which will log you in and auth you up.
Usage
Usage: spotify-control [options] [command]
Options:
-V, --version output the version number
-c, --config <path> Set config path. Defaults to ~/.config/spotify-control.json
-h, --help output usage information
Commands:
login [options]
next
previous
toggle
play [options]
pause
printconfig
spotify-control works well with skhd, the simple hotkey daemon for macOS. In fact, that's why I built it - so that I could use the media keys on my mac to control Spotify playing in the browser, or on my speakers. You can find an example configuration in example.skhdrc.
