a script to stream any music through the command line

Mustream

Small exploit to stream music from the spotify library using your terminal.

Description

The script will look up for the most relevant result following a set of keywords.
Ideally you should specify the complete track info ( $artist - $title ) for more accurate results.
No sign up nor premium subscriptions are required.

Features:

Queue up any track/album/playlist from the spotify library.

Usage :

• Type a song title or artist name for a quick search.
  
• Add prefix Album/Playlist for respective results.
  
• You can direcly input a playlist URL.
  
• Spotify client must be running. (cf. below on how to hide it).

Notes and tricks :

• This script doesn't include a client manager
  I suggest you use SP (https://gist.github.com/wandernauta/6800547) for this matter.
• you can explore playlists by adding the prefix some, this will return
  a playlist related to your input, this option offers more flexibility to your search
  as you can use it to look up for artists,tags,albums without restrictions.
  it's also a good way to get music recommendations.
  acronyms are valid for most cases:
  
  • play some PF will queue up a Pink Floyd playlist
    
  • play some NMH will queue up a Neutral milk hotel playlist
    
• To hide the Spotify GUI you can try out these commands. (will work better on a WM)
  
  • xdotool search --name spotify windowunmap
  • wmctrl -r "spotify" -b toggle,hidden
• Some songs may not start due to country restrictions.

Installation :

git clone https://github.com/BelkaDev/mustream ~/mustream && cd ~/mustream
