  • Spotify has shut down libspotify

    Cool to see someone who worked on this :) Back in the day I wrote a (probably really bad, not a C/C++ developer) wrapper around libspotify for Node.js: https://github.com/FrontierPsychiatrist/node-spotify

    At some point it could do enough for me to build a webapp with Node.js running on a Rapsberry Pi to stream Spotify.

    I even got contacted by Spotify to take down the domain node-spotify.com for it.

    Shpotify is a shell script that allows you to control Spotify from the command line: https://github.com/hnarayanan/shpotify

    The first version of it I wrote in a couple of hours.

    And then it went on to be quite popular and has lived a life of its own.

    This is only peripherally related, but if you were using libspotify to work on a a command line client, I have an alternative approach. Shpotify offers command line control of the Spotify app on Macs: https://github.com/hnarayanan/shpotify

    A long time ago, before Spotify had support for multiple devices where one could act as a remote and control the other, I wrote a tool called Shpotify: https://github.com/hnarayanan/shpotify . It is a simple Bash/AppleScript.

    The primary usecase for me was to SSH tunnel into a media centre Mac in my living room and control music on Spotify. I released it on GitHub and it has grown a lot in popularity amongst people who like to do a lot of their computing in the shell.

  • Spotify global hotkey

    Was searching on how to enable global spotify hotkey, came across this script, check the readme for install instructions. But you can only use it via terminal commands.
