spotify-player

The spotify-player skill enables terminal-based Spotify playback and search functionality using command-line tools. It integrates with either `spogo` (preferred) or `spotify_player` to allow users to control their Spotify listening experience directly from a terminal environment. This skill is designed for users who prefer working in the command line or need lightweight, keyboard-driven control over music playback without relying on the official graphical Spotify application. It addresses the need for efficient, scriptable, and terminal-native Spotify interaction.

The primary interface is `spogo`, which supports searching for tracks, controlling playback (play, pause, next, previous), managing devices, and checking playback status. Device management includes listing available devices and selecting a specific device by name or ID. Authentication for `spogo` is handled by importing browser cookies. If `spogo` is unavailable, the skill falls back to `spotify_player`, which supports searching, playback control, device connection, and liking tracks. Configuration for `spotify_player` is stored in the `~/.config/spotify-player` directory, and Spotify Connect integration requires setting a user `client_id` in the configuration. The terminal user interface provides built-in shortcuts accessible via `?` within the app.

This skill is well-suited for developers, system administrators, and terminal-focused users who already work extensively in shell environments. It is particularly useful in remote sessions, minimal desktop setups, or automated workflows where graphical applications are impractical. A Spotify Premium account is required, making it appropriate for users who already subscribe and want streamlined, command-line-based control over their listening experience.
