Intro

A Spotify player that fetches songs from an URL and plays the first song found (it parses it as XML and searches for first item with an href attribute).

Made to work with BIP:

http://github.com/Bignetwork/BIP

But should be able to work with other things.

Developers:

• Jonathan Ström
• Victor Sollerhed

How to use:

$ python client.py -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD

It only works with premium accounts (since those are Spotifys rules for libspotify).

Requirements

• libspotify
• pyspotify
• pygame (for playing ads between songs)

libspotify:

How to install

On Mac:

brew install libspotify

On Linux:

(old, new instructions for libspotify-0.0.6 might be needed)

tar xzf libspotify-*.tar.gz
cd libspotify-*
sudo make install prefix=/usr/local
(export LD_LIBARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/local/lib/)

http://github.com/jodal/pyspotify

How to install:

The prefix used on Linux might be needed on Mac aswell, not sure, needs testing.

git clone http://github.com/jodal/pyspotify.git
sudo setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local

Or see these instructions:
