spotify-remote — Control Spotify from the browser
Synopsis
spotify-remote allows you to control Spotify from a browser. Currently it works by talking to Spotify via its AppleScript interface, so only OS X is supported at the moment.
The aim is to be as mobile & battery-friendly as possible.
Installation
Install Node.js
Install spotify-remote in a shell:
$ npm install -g spotify-remote
Starting and using spotify-remote
Make sure Spotify is running.
Start the spotify-remote server in a shell:
$ spotify-remote
Open
http://localhost:3333
in your browser
If you need a different port, just use the PORT environment variable:
$ PORT=1337 spotify-remote

Todo
This thing is work in progress and the result of a hack day. It's working relatively well, but of course there's a lot to do. Things that come to mind are:
- Linux support (Spotify is supposed to have a DBUS-Interface)
- Windows support (if anyone is up to it)
- Give this thing a nice design
- Make it even more battery friendly
- Test & fix on Android devices
- Search for Tracks
- Play arbitrary tracks
- Playlist support (as in: see the current track in the playlist)
Contributing
Pull requests are very welcome, hack away and contribute! There is a tiny test suite which you can run with:
$ npm test
