Counsel Spotify
Little Emacs package to control Spotify app through an Ivy interface.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants. Isaac Newton
This package is basically a port of helm-spotify and helm-spotify-plus with an Ivy interface. Many thanks to the authors of those for their amazing work!
Dependencies
Notes on Spotify Web API authentication
You'll need to register an application in Spotify in order to obtain a client id and a client secret. Then, you'll have to set the variables
counsel-spotify-client-id
and counsel-spotify-client-secret
variables with your credentials to start using the search feature
How to use it
This package exposes these search functions:
counsel-spotify-search-track
counsel-spotify-search-album
counsel-spotify-search-artist
counsel-spotify-search-playlist
counsel-spotify-search-tracks-by-album
counsel-spotify-search-tracks-by-artist
The options are fetched from Spotify REST API. Hitting RET
while selecting an option will start playing that track or album (depending on what the search were). Also, hitting M-o
will prompt a tiny menu with some more actions to choose from (for example, choosing to play the entire album a song belongs to)
Controllers
There are defined some basic controllers for the Spotify App
Action | Function |
---|---|
Play | counsel-spotify-play |
Toggle play/pause | counsel-spotify-toggle-play-pause |
Next song | counsel-spotify-next |
Previous song | counsel-spotify-previous |
What if I want to use another Spotify client (like Mopidy or Spotifyd)?
Well, in that case I think you would be interested in two variables:
-
counsel-spotify-service-name
is the name of the DBUS service counsel-spotify calls to handle the reproduction of a song -
counsel-spotify-use-system-bus-p
for some clients that use the system bus instead of the session
