A simple Windows application that saves your current Spotify track information to text and image files!
Inspired by Snip, but using a different approach for faster updates.
- ⚡ Real-time updates of track information; < 1s delay, no rate limiting
- 💻 Runs in the background; find it in the system tray
- Empty content files when paused - Update cover art to transparent image, and empty text file contents when you pause Spotify.
- Small / Medium / Large Cover Art Image - Specify which resolutions of the cover art image you want to save.
- Save JSON file - Save player state to JSON file.
Note
The JSON state file will never be emptied on pause, because it contains the isPlaying
boolean.
- Custom templating for text files
- Custom output directory?
- Previous / Next tracks
- Display track information in settings menu?
- Display track controls in settings menu?
- Spotilocal REST API
- Spotilocal WebSockets API
- Support local track metadata and cover art
- Add support Podcast episode track data
- Add support Audiobook track data
- Explore supporting macOS / Linux
It loads the Spotify web player in a hidden window to detect track changes and saves them to text files.
It doesn't need to send a single API request on top of the default player!
