A dumb way to navigate around Spotify ads

Primary LanguagePython

Navigate around spotify ads

Here's a simple script that mutes your master audio if spotify starts playing an ad. Then unmutes once the ad is over.

Get Started

git clone https://www.github.com/verma16Ayush/spotad.git

pip install -r requirements.txt

Setup a spotify app

  1. Go to https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard and sign in with your Spotify account.
  2. Click on the 'CREATE AN APP' option and provide an app name and app description as you'd like.
  3. Go to 'EDIT SETTINGS' and fill in the Redirect URIs placeholder with http://localhost:8080/, and click on Save.
  4. Copy the Client ID and Client Secret and paste it in the corresponding placeholders in '.env' file.
  5. Paste your spotify username in the username placeholder in '.env' file

Run

Once above steps are done you can play music and run this in the background. Or better yet, make this script a daemon. You might need to add a hashbang at the top. Follow this
