  • Video

See how [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjKtkEMUYGc&feature=youtu.be][the first version was coded in 16 minutes]].

** Installation

If you're hooked up to [[http://melpa.milkbox.net/][MELPA]]:

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE M-x package-refresh-contents M-x package-install RET helm-spotify #+END_EXAMPLE

Alternatively just grab the single =helm-spotify.el= file and install that in your preferred way.

  • Usage

=M-x helm-spotify= and type a search string.

(The search begins after you've typed at least 2 characters. You can use space-separated terms for psuedo-fuzzy matching.)

*** Keys

| =C-n= | Next item. | | =C-p= | Previous item. | | =RET= | Play this track. | | =C-z= | Play this album. | | =TAB= | More options. | | =C-h m= | Full list of keyboard shortcuts. |

  • Status

Ready to use.

Currently OSX & Linux only. Windows support is available, but partial. Please contribute the code for your platform, if you can!

  • Supporting Other Platforms

Find out what emacs says your =system-type= is. (=C-h v system-type=). Let's say it shows the symbol =ms-dos=. Then you need to write this function:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (defmulti-method spotify-play-href 'ms-dos (href) ... ... href is a string that's something like "spotify:track:5Yt80fWRB8JG73XlPjrrKP" ... ... here, you write any code that will cause Spotify to play that href. ... ) #+END_SRC

Then submit a pull request!
