spotify status watch mode

rupertdev opened this issue · 2 comments

Hey there, love the tool!

One feature that I would love to see is an updating spotify status command that I can keep in a small section of my screen.

Essentially what watch spotify -n 1 outputs, without any weird characters, updating until i ctrl-c.

Thanks!

I haven't used it on OSX, but watch can be installed using homebrew. Alternatively, you could try something like while :; do echo "$(clear;spotify status)"; sleep 2; done which will continually run the spotify status command until you CTRL+C. Quick gif to below to show the song position updating...

Would that be sufficient or do you envision this being something built into the script itself?

It would be neat to have it built in, but this will work for us more technical users.
