Save Spotify songs on-the-go while you're listening to your Liked Songs library or your favorite playlists with custom hotkeys!
This app allows you to instantiate a global hotkey thread to save a currently playing Spotify song to your Liked Songs library or a playlist of your chosing. This lets you not have to re-open Spotify to like/save a song. I wrote this simple script because I found it annoying that I had to re-open Spotify just to save a song that I liked. I did not want to interrupt my workflow but at the same time didn't want to miss a cool track either!
A simple guide on how to use the app is placed in the '
help' tab within the app itself.
You can install a bundled version of the app here:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/fipz7kses6jqx9k/SpotiLike.zip/file
I used the package cx_Freeze to bundle the app.
You can find the setup file in src/setup.py .
Run:
$ python setup.py build
However, if you are using any other way to bundle the app, you must consider the below stated requirements:
-
A Spotify app should be created from the Spotify Developer Portal. Please make sure to set a Redirect URI to be
http://localhost:9000in the app settings. -
A valid
CLIENT_IDandCLIENT_SECRETshould be passed inSpotiLike.py. You can find these two variables at line 42 and 43. -
Now you can get the app working, to bundle the app, keep in mind the app requires the '
assets' folder, the 'uis' folder and also the 'config' folder.assets- contains all the icons for the app and playlist image datauis- contains the user interface style files.config- contains all user settings and user data
How does it work?
