shpotify

shpotify is a simple Bash/Apple script to control Spotify from the command line on a Mac.

In order to use it:

  1. Fetch a copy of this repository, either with git or download the zip archive.

  2. Navigate to the folder where you fetched the repository (unzip if needed) and make sure the file called spotify is executable:

    cd shpotify
    chmod +x spotify
    
  3. Copy the file spotify to a convenient location in your PATH, or set your PATH to include the folder where the file is located.

  4. You can now use it to control Spotify with the following commands:

    spotify play                      Resumes playback where Spotify last left off
    spotify play [song name]          Finds a song by name and plays it

    spotify play artist [artist name] Finds an artist by name and plays it
    spotify play list [playlist name] Finds a playlist by name and plays it
    
    spotify next                      Skips to the next song in a playlist
