@hughrawlinson/spotify-control v1.0.1

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.
