  • playerctl

    🎧 mpris media player command-line controller for vlc, mpv, RhythmBox, web browsers, cmus, mpd, spotify and others.

    playerctl is what you're looking for.

  • ncspot

    Cross-platform ncurses Spotify client written in Rust, inspired by ncmpc and the likes.

    Right on. Here's my script to avoid that, where I'm prioritizing Spotify then ncspot above all rest.
