What spotify-player does

The skill drives Spotify through two CLI tools: spogo (preferred) and spotify_player (fallback). Your agent runs their commands — spogo search track "query" to find something, spogo play|pause|next|prev to control playback, spogo device list and spogo device set "" to pick a speaker or phone, spogo status to check what is on. The fallback has its own set: spotify_player search, spotify_player playback play|pause|next|previous, spotify_player connect, spotify_player like.

Setup starts with cookies: spogo auth import --browser chrome. You need a Spotify Premium account, otherwise playback will not work. Config lives in ~/.config/spotify-player, for example app.toml, and Spotify Connect needs a user client_id set there.

Worth installing if you already run spogo or spotify_player and want to poke at music from the chat. No Premium or no interest in terminal players — skip it.

What it helps with

  • search for a track by name and start it right away
  • pause playback without opening the Spotify app
  • move playback to another speaker or device
  • check what is playing with one command
  • like the current track

Example prompts for the agent

  • pause playback and tell me what's playing
  • find the track Midnight City and play it
  • switch playback to the living room speaker
