Spotify in the terminal.

Getting Started

-----------

Install with ```pip install spotui```

**Please Note:** SpoTUI will not work with free Spotify accounts.

Register a developer application at: [https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/login]( https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/login). Once you create the application you'll need to edit it to add a Redirect URI. Use something like 'http://localhost:8888/callback' (it doesn't matter what you use really as long as it matches what's in your config file).

Run `spotui` to generate a sample config file at ~/.config/spotui/.spotuirc or create one manually with the following:

```

[spotify_api]

user_name = *Your spotify username*

client_id = *Your application client ID*

client_secret = *Your application secret*

redirect_uri = http://localhost:8888/callback

[other]

use_nerd_fonts = yes

config_version = 1 

```

Once you're done start the app with `spotui`, log in via your browser and copy the URL of the broken web page you're taken to. *(This ugly authentication process is part of the underlying Spotipy library I use so don't blame me :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:)*

This app acts like a kind of remote control for Spotify. The best way to use it is in conjunction with [Spotifyd](https://github.com/Spotifyd/spotifyd) which means you won't need to actually have Spotify open. Alternatively, you can just open Spotify on your computer, phone etc. (press `d` to pick the device to play on).

* **Why can't I play anything?** Check you have a device selected (d) and make sure you're using a paid Spotify account

* **I get an error page when I log into Spotify** This is correct - just copy the URL and paste it back into the terminal
