Save the currently running song on Spotify to a playlist with a hotkey

spotify-save

A simple Electron app that runs in the background and saves the currently running song on Spotify to a playlist after the user pressed a hotkey.

Installation

You can find binaries and setup files for Windows and Linux in the Github release section.

From source

If you wish to use the source to build and run the app yourself:

You'll need Git and Node.js installed on your computer. From your command line:

# Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/pezcode/spotify-save.git
# Go into the repository
cd spotify-save
# Install dependencies
npm install

Usage

To run the app simply:

# Run the app
npm start

Distribution

To package binaries and installers from source, run the build script which uses electron-builder:

# Package the app
npm run build

Note: Unless you're on MacOS, this will give you an error since building MacOS targets on a non-MacOS host is not possible. In that case, run build for your desired target OS:

# Windows
npm run build:win32
# Linux
npm run build:linux
# MacOS
npm run build:darwin

Built binaries can be found in the dist folder.

Configuration

You will need a Spotify App so spotify-save can interact with the web API. Go to the Spotify Developer website and create a new app.

spotify-save will prompt you for your Client ID and Secret on first start. It will also tell you the Redirect URI you need to add to your Spotify app's settings for login to work.
