Play — Intelligent global hotkeys for iTunes and Spotify.

[pstadler]

Control iTunes and Spotify using the same global hotkeys with this Alfred workflow. Play magically knows which player you're currently using and sends the command to the right place.

 

Download — stable version.

I just fixed a problem where the script failed to work correctly if one or both apps are closed. Use the download link above to update.

Ace! Thanks for this.

Seems to work fine on 10.10. Awesome!

Did 10.10.2 break this WF?

[pstadler]

This is a bug in Spotify.app which should be fixed in an upcoming release.

Thanks. Yeah, found that today too. Easy enough to workaround. Working great again.

Seems that this has been fixed. Update Spotify.app and enjoy.

@beauwilliams interesting, thanks. I found Spotify Global Commands and it does exactly what I was looking for.
