Spotifious
a natural Spotify controller for Alfred
 

So, you’ve heard of Spotifious, eh? A natural Spotify controller for Alfred? Searchs Spotify, controls your music, generally rocks?
 
It’s built off a lot of other people’s work— PHPFunk and David Ferguson especially— and tries to match the functionality of Alfred’s integrated iTunes player. It’s not perfect, but it does the job. And I think it’s pretty cool.
 
Features
 
A quick rundown of its coolness:
 
A controller, not a workflow
Spotifious just feels fun to use, like a real plugin for Alfred, not a workflow. It can do in-depth, playlist-scouring searches and gives you useful information even if something goes wrong.

Not unlike the iTunes Mini Player.

 
Alfred-like
Spotifious is also especially Alfred-like. Just start typing to scour Spotify’s servers for music. Browse through artists and albums and playlists like nobody’s business and drill down through Queen’s huge anthologies with a snappy context-based search.
 
Smart
Spotifious uses Packal to make sure you always have the latest version. It gives you a heads-up about what’s going on with Spotify the moment you start it. And don’t worry about errors— we’ll handle those.
 
 
Download & Install
Latest version: v0.13.9 | Latest dev build: v0.13.9
 
Detailed instructions available on the plugin site.
Download this repository. (Source) Open dist/spotifious.alfredworkflow by double-clicking it or dragging it into Alfred. Bind the hotkey to ^⌘⏎. Activate the plugin with your new hotkey, and follow the short (three step) setup process. Continue on with your merry day. How to Use
So let's assume you've downloaded and installed the workflow. Now what?
Press ^⌘⏎ Good! You should briefly see a loading entry, then the main menu:




You can action the song title (press ⏎) to play or pause the song, action the album or artist to search for that album or artist, or just start typing to search for cool music.



Once you’ve searched for something, you can continue to browse albums and arists through Spotifious. Actioning an artist will bring up a list of their albums, and actioning an album will bring up the track list.
 
Note: You can always leave a menu and go back just by pressing ⌫.

 
Development & Acknowledgements

A lot of people helped out on this:
vdesabou and I trade ideas a ton PHPfunk and his PHP Alfred workflow inspired much of OhAlfred David Ferguson helped with some iffy Alfred glitches a slightly modified version of Entypo icon font face for icons. and many other people mentioned in the code. Thanks to everyone who helped, and thanks to everyone who uses my work! Oh, and thanks for reading this whole README. I hope you enjoy Spotifious!

This is a personal project. I host it on Github. It is MIT licensed, except for the icons, which are owned by Spotify and Entypo. Be cool.

Awesome buddy! It works. Thanks. 

@citelao I was having the same issue as @samvandersteen. It resulted from an authentication requirement change for Spotify web API requests that took effect on 29th May 2017. I've written a quick fix and submitted a pull request on GitHub here. Not the most elegant solution I'm sure but it works for me and you'd be the best person to do any tidying up required.

I will fix this bug as soon as I can, but for now you can fix it on your own by following the instructions on this bug.
 
And thanks

Once finals die down I'll put it in.

Not yet, but I can add that as a feature.

Hi, it is not the same workflow, but problem is the same, see this link explaining how to workaround the problem (by reverting back to previous Spotify version).
 
Hope it helps

Thanks! I've been investigating other methods of connection (e.g. bluetooth and handoff), so stay tuned

Ah ah!   We need an hotline I guess now !
@dapitts08, please post to the linked indicated by Citelao, I'll be happy to help

That would require changing how Spotifious tells Spotify to play a new song, which I'm trying to do, but haven't gotten in a way I like.

I've confirmed this. I'll submit a bug report as soon as possible I've submitted a bug report, as I don't believe this is the appropriate behavior.
