A Scoop bucket for Spotify, Spicetify and related packages.
$ scoop bucket add spotify https://github.com/TheRandomLabs/Scoop-Spotify.git
...I've spent an unhealthy amount of time on automating all of this.
Also check out my personal bucket and my Python bucket!
If the spotify-latest
manifest has recently been updated, this error may occur because
depending on the region, the old installer may stay cached for a bit. To work around this
issue, pass the -s
or --skip
flag to Scoop when updating the package.
- None of the packages in this bucket can be installed globally.
- If you have the means, please buy Spotify Premium instead of installing BlockTheSpot.
- All of the Spicetify packages require Spotify to be installed either through this Scoop bucket or the official installer.
- All themes, extensions and custom apps for Spicetify should be installed to
~\.spicetify
instead of the spicetify-cli installation directory. - Installing or updating any of the packages in this bucket automatically applies the Spicetify configuration and preserves BlockTheSpot if it is installed.
- All Spicetify packages apart from spicetify-cli depend on spicetify-cli.
--purge
or-p
should be used to fully uninstall all packages apart fromblockthespot
,google-spicetify
andspicetify-themes
.
- This blocks advertisements for the latest version of Spotify.
- This package depends on
spotify-latest
. - This is not an executable program.
spotify-latest
will be patched automatically every time this package or any of the Spicetify packages are installed or updated. - If BlockTheSpot is ever reset,
blockthespot
can be run to reapply it. This usually happens after running Spicetify commands, and runningspicetify-apply
rather thanspicetify apply
ensures that BlockTheSpot is enabled if it is installed.
- See here to configure a custom
Musixmatch user token.
manifest.json
can be found at~\.spicetify\CustomApps\genius\manifest.json
.
- See
here
to modify the configuration.
autoVolume.js
can be found at~\.spicetify\Extensions\autoVolume.js
.
- Experimental features, fast user switching and all default extensions apart from Auto Skip Videos and DJ Mode are enabled by default.
spicetify-apply
is should be run instead ofspicetify apply
if BlockTheSpot is installed, as it ensures that BlockTheSpot is enabled if it is installed.- It should be noted that
spicetify-apply
also runsspicetify restore
andspicetify backup
before runningspicetify apply
to ensure that changes are applied every time. - For similar reasons,
spicetify-enable-devtool
andspicetify-disable-devtool
should be run instead ofspicetify enable-devtool
andspicetify disable-devtool
. - The three above commands also support the
-quiet
switch.
- This requires Spotify Premium.
- The Elementary theme requires the Open Sans and Raleway fonts:
$ scoop bucket add nerd-fonts
$ sudo scoop install Open-Sans Raleway
- The WintergatanBlueprint theme requires the Ubuntu font:
$ scoop bucket add nerd-fonts
$ sudo scoop install Ubuntu-NF
- This is the latest version of Spotify.
- Unlike Ash258's version, this version installs completely silently and to the Scoop directory.
- Spotify's built-in updater is disabled, and Scoop should be used to update it instead.
- Spotify should be installed locally and not globally.
- This cannot be installed concurrently with
spotify-with-blockthespot
.
- This is an outdated version of Spotify (1.1.4.197.g92d52c4f) with an old version of BlockTheSpot.
- Spotify's built-in updater is disabled.
- This should only be used if BlockTheSpot does not work with the latest version of Spotify.
- Spotify with BlockTheSpot should be installed locally and not globally.
- Installation and uninstallation of this package require administrator privileges.
- This cannot be installed concurrently with
spotify-latest
.
First, the latest version of Spotify should be installed:
$ scoop install spotify-latest
Note that Spotify should not be installed globally, as it stores files in user-specific directories.
Once Spotify is installed, spicetify-cli can be installed to customize the Spotify client:
$ scoop install spicetify-cli
Again, spicetify-cli should be installed locally, as it also stores files in a user-specific location.
spicetify-themes can be installed for a collection of community-created themes for Spicetify. Obviously, this should also be installed locally:
$ scoop install spicetify-themes
google-spicetify is also available:
$ scoop install google-spicetify
I can recommend the Adapta-Nokto theme, which can be applied by running the following:
$ spicetify config current_theme Adapta-Nokto
$ spicetify-apply
As an example, I will also demonstrate the installation of the Elementary theme, which requires Open Sans and Raleway to be installed:
$ scoop bucket add nerd-fonts
$ sudo scoop install Open-Sans Raleway
$ spicetify config current_theme Elementary
$ spicetify-apply
To install spicetify-cli and apply a theme silently, the theme can be configured before installing spicetify-themes. When any of the Spicetify packages are installed, the current configuration is applied, and if Spotify was open previously, it is reopened.
$ scoop install spicetify-cli
$ spicetify config current_theme Elementary
$ scoop install spicetify-themes
genius-spicetify can be installed to fetch lyrics from Genius or Musixmatch:
$ scoop install genius-spicetify
spicetify-autoVolume can be installed to automatically decrease the volume at specific intervals of time:
$ scoop install spicetify-autovolume
BlockTheSpot can be installed to block advertisements:
$ scoop install blockthespot
All of the above packages can be updated through Scoop.
If you don't care about reading any of this and just want a quick way to install ad-blocked Spotify with the Elementary theme, genius-spicetify and developer tools, copy and paste this into PowerShell:
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser -Force
Invoke-Expression (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://get.scoop.sh')
scoop install git sudo
scoop bucket add nerd-fonts
sudo scoop install Open-Sans Raleway --global
scoop bucket add spotify https://github.com/TheRandomLabs/Scoop-Spotify.git
scoop install spotify-latest blockthespot spicetify-cli spicetify-themes genius-spicetify spicetify-autovolume
spicetify config current_theme Elementary --quiet
spicetify-enable-devtool -quiet
Or even shorter, but with Adapta-Nokto instead:
$ Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser -Force; iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TheRandomLabs/Scoop-Spotify/master/basic-setup.ps1 | iex
I wrote the above script mostly for people who don't care about using Scoop and just need a foolproof way to set everything up automatically.
And in the future, if you want to update any installed packages:
$ scoop update *
