# Scoop-Spotify [![Build status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/0q9mhsk39dw59ej5/branch/master?svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/TheRandomLabs/scoop-spotify/branch/master)



A [Scoop](https://github.com/lukesampson/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](https://github.com/TheRandomLabs/Scoop-Bucket)

and my [Python bucket](https://github.com/TheRandomLabs/Scoop-Python)!



## spotify-latest: hash check failed



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.



## Notes



* 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 from `blockthespot`,

`google-spicetify` and `spicetify-themes`.



### BlockTheSpot



* 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 running `spicetify-apply` rather than `spicetify apply`

ensures that BlockTheSpot is enabled if it is installed.



### genius-spicetify



* See [here](https://github.com/khanhas/genius-spicetify#musicxmatch) to configure a custom

Musixmatch user token. `manifest.json` can be found at

`~\.spicetify\CustomApps\genius\manifest.json`.



### spicetify-autoVolume



* See

[here](https://github.com/amanharwara/spicetify-autoVolume#changing-the-intervalminimum-volume)

to modify the configuration. `autoVolume.js` can be found at

`~\.spicetify\Extensions\autoVolume.js`.



### spicetify-cli



* Experimental features, fast user switching and all

[default extensions](https://github.com/khanhas/spicetify-cli/wiki/Extensions) apart from Auto Skip

Videos and DJ Mode are enabled by default.

* `spicetify-apply` is should be run instead of `spicetify apply` if BlockTheSpot is installed, as

it ensures that BlockTheSpot is enabled if it is installed.

* It should be noted that `spicetify-apply` also runs `spicetify restore` and `spicetify backup`

before running `spicetify apply` to ensure that changes are applied every time.

* For similar reasons, `spicetify-enable-devtool` and `spicetify-disable-devtool` should be run

instead of `spicetify enable-devtool` and `spicetify disable-devtool`.

* The three above commands also support the `-quiet` switch.



### spicetify-jqbx



* This requires Spotify Premium.



### spicetify-themes



* The [Elementary](https://github.com/morpheusthewhite/spicetify-themes/tree/master/Elementary)

theme requires the Open Sans and Raleway fonts:



```powershell

$ scoop bucket add nerd-fonts

$ sudo scoop install Open-Sans Raleway

```



* The [WintergatanBlueprint](https://github.com/morpheusthewhite/spicetify-themes/tree/master/WintergatanBlueprint)

theme requires the Ubuntu font:



```powershell

$ scoop bucket add nerd-fonts

$ sudo scoop install Ubuntu-NF

```



### Spotify (latest)



* This is the latest version of Spotify.

* Unlike [Ash258's version](https://github.com/Ash258/scoop-Ash258/blob/master/bucket/Spotify.json),

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`.



### Spotify with BlockTheSpot



* This is an outdated version of Spotify (1.1.4.197.g92d52c4f) with an

[old version of BlockTheSpot](https://github.com/master131/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`.



## Installing and customizing Spotify



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](https://github.com/khanhas/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](https://github.com/morpheusthewhite/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](https://github.com/khanhas/google-spicetify) is also available:



    $ scoop install google-spicetify



I can recommend the

[Adapta-Nokto](https://github.com/morpheusthewhite/spicetify-themes/tree/master/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](https://github.com/morpheusthewhite/spicetify-themes/tree/master/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](https://github.com/khanhas/genius-spicetify) can be installed to fetch lyrics

from Genius or Musixmatch:



    $ scoop install genius-spicetify



[spicetify-autoVolume](https://github.com/amanharwara/spicetify-autoVolume#changing-the-intervalminimum-volume)

can be installed to automatically decrease the volume at specific intervals of time:



    $ scoop install spicetify-autovolume



[BlockTheSpot](https://github.com/mrpond/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:



```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:



```powershell

$ 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:



```powershell

$ scoop update *

```
