# spotify-control
A CLI for Spotify Connect. I built this so that I could use it with [skhd](https://github.com/koekeishiya/skhd) to be able to control whichever Spotify Connect device happens to be playing, without having to have the Spotify Desktop Client open.
## Installing
`npm install --global @hughrawlinson/spotify-control`
## Config
A json file called `~/.config/spotify-control.json`, containing a `client_id` and `client_secret`. You can register a client id and secret at [developer.spotify.com/dashboard](https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard). You can specify an alternative file using the `-c` flag.
From there, you run `spotify-control login`, which will log you in and auth you up.
## Usage
```
Usage: spotify-control [options] [command]
Options:
-V, --version output the version number
-c, --config Set config path. Defaults to ~/.config/spotify-control.json
-h, --help output usage information
Commands:
login [options]
next
previous
toggle
play [options]
pause
printconfig
```
`spotify-control` works well with [skhd](https://github.com/koekeishiya/skhd), the simple hotkey daemon for macOS. In fact, that's why I built it - so that I could use the media keys on my mac to control Spotify playing in the browser, or on my speakers. You can find an example configuration in `example.skhdrc`.
