Inspired By : https://github.com/imdadahad/spotify-get-current-playing-track
- Implemented the showcasing of the currently playing song name, album art and artist names.
Displays the album art of the currently playing song and other details like the song and artist names on to the screen. If the user changes the song on their spotify app (on any device) then the program automatically changes the output.
Links the user's spotify account using an access token generated by the spotify API and then sends a get request with authentication and uses the json response to parse the the needed data. Pygame is then used to display this information.
Pygame
pip install pygame
- Use OAuth for authentication to remove the need of generating an access token every hour (ish).
- An adaptive gradient background color based on the album art.
- Make a separate project that utilizes this to show the album art on a dedicated screen (inside a photoframe) using a raspberry pi
