spot is a command line utility that provides various functions for music. It
defaults to the currently playing song on Spotify but accepts search queries as
well.
Spot can be installed using Homebrew.
brew install shrimpram/tap/spotspot searches for a configuration file first at
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/spot/config.yml then at ~/.config/spot/config.yml
Mandatory. A Genius client access token that gives access to the Genius API, can
be generated on your dashboard. You can
define either the token directly or a shell command that spot should run to
get the token. spot first checks for the token and then falls back to running
the shell command. E.g.:
genius:
token: "<Genius token here>"
command: "pass show Genius"Optional. The program spot should use to display lyrics. Falls back to your
environment’s $PAGER if not defined. E.g.:
pager: "nvim +Man!"spot [-a] [-l] [-n] [<query>]Flags can be combined and the search query is optional. If there’s no search
query spot defaults to the currently playing song.
-a: Saves the album cover art to the current directory.
-l: Gets lyrics from Genius and outputs them to
either the pager specified in the configuration file or $PAGER.
-n: Sends a notification with the now-playing song using
terminal-notifier.
