Thanks for the share, I grabbed and am gonna take this for a test spin. Appreciate ya, shinobi.
Thank you for the interest. The usage of SPTFJ has kind of steep curve. It's undocumented. But You would have to create a new spotify application in the portal. I didn't really want to provide the description on how to do that because it could change often.
Then You need the spotipy library in python3. If You're on the Windows I'm
not sure if that would work but curses are prerequisity:
https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#curses
The site provides python curses for Windows.
Otherwise it ought to just work. I'm using it on daily basis. You ought to
need browser for the first run once You'd get the credentials from spotify
api.
I'm looking forward to let me know if You had time and mood to try to run it.
I would probably suggest You to make the REFRESH_INTERVAL something bigger
once You'd find it useful. Otherwise it will poll to the spotify api very often. I'm currently using 30 seconds (3000000 is ms).
BTW: I'm spending a lot of time on spotify. And slowly lowly I got tired of
the artificial intelligence always providing me something it things it's
good. With SPTFJ I'm rather listening to my collection of albums. After
several weeks of usage I've got something like 500 hundered albums. And it's quite refreshing not to get recommendations but rather just press .r (random album) and start listening instantly.
There is a known drawback when I'm listening on Droid phone. In that case
once I stop listening some mechanism in the Droid OS stops connecting to API and I have to initialy play song to connect to the album. And then the switching is just automagic.
At last not but not at least I really wanted to thank Phenom for the know-how and support they provide to me. This program wouldn't exists without them.
Thank You again & take case & have a nice day
