spogo / spotify_player

Use spogo (preferred) for Spotify playback/search. Fall back to spotify_player if needed.

Requirements

• Spotify Premium account.
• Either spogo or spotify_player installed.

spogo setup

• Import cookies: spogo auth import --browser chrome

Common CLI commands

• Search: spogo search track "query"
• Playback: spogo play|pause|next|prev
• Devices: spogo device list, spogo device set ""
• Status: spogo status

spotify_player commands (fallback)

• Search: spotify_player search "query"
• Playback: spotify_player playback play|pause|next|previous
• Connect device: spotify_player connect
• Like track: spotify_player like

Notes

• Config folder: ~/.config/spotify-player (e.g., app.toml).
• For Spotify Connect integration, set a user client_id in config.
• TUI shortcuts are available via ? in the app.

Security Guardrails

• Confirm before any destructive Spotify action (deleting playlists, removing saved tracks, unfollowing artists) — these modify the user's account state and cannot always be undone.

• Do not read or modify ~/.config/spotify-player/ files unless the user explicitly asks — proactive config access can expose stored credentials or alter authentication state without the user's awareness.

• Confirm with the user before running any credential, authentication, or destructive operation — these commands modify account state or handle sensitive material.

• Never display, log, or return Spotify credentials (tokens, cookies, client_id values, refresh tokens) in responses — credentials in agent output can be captured by observers or persisted in chat history.

• Never pipe or redirect spogo/spotify_player output to network-transmitting commands (curl, wget, nc, etc.) — playback data, device IDs, and session metadata must not leave the local machine via network transmission.

• Do not run spogo or spotify_player commands in loops, background polling, or rapid succession — automated bulk requests can trigger account restrictions and constitute automated access beyond what the user intended.
