Mustream

Small exploit to stream music from the spotify library using your terminal.

Description

The script will look up for the most relevant result following a set of keywords.
Ideally you should specify the complete track info ( $artist - $title ) for more accurate results.
No sign up nor premium subscriptions are required.

Features:

Queue up any track/album/playlist from the spotify library.

Usage :

• Type a song title or artist name for a quick search.
  
• Add prefix Album/Playlist for respective results.
  
• You can direcly input a playlist URL.
  
• Spotify client must be running. (cf. below on how to hide it).

Notes and tricks :

• This script doesn't include a client manager
  I suggest you use SP (https://gist.github.com/wandernauta/6800547) for this matter.
• you can explore playlists by adding the prefix some, this will return
  a playlist related to your input, this option offers more flexibility to your search
  as you can use it to look up for artists,tags,albums without restrictions.
  it's also a good way to get music recommendations.
  acronyms are valid for most cases:
  
  • play some PF will queue up a Pink Floyd playlist
    
  • play some NMH will queue up a Neutral milk hotel playlist
    
• To hide the Spotify GUI you can try out these commands. (will work better on a WM)
  
  • xdotool search --name spotify windowunmap
  • wmctrl -r "spotify" -b toggle,hidden
• Some songs may not start due to country restrictions.

Installation :

git clone https://github.com/BelkaDev/mustream ~/mustream && cd ~/mustream
