Little Emacs package to control Spotify app through an Ivy interface.

If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants. Isaac Newton

This package is basically a port of helm-spotify and helm-spotify-plus with an Ivy interface. Many thanks to the authors of those for their amazing work!

Ivy

You'll need to register an application in Spotify in order to obtain a client id and a client secret. Then, you'll have to set the variables counsel-spotify-client-id and counsel-spotify-client-secret variables with your credentials to start using the search feature

This package exposes these search functions:

• counsel-spotify-search-track
• counsel-spotify-search-album
• counsel-spotify-search-artist
• counsel-spotify-search-playlist
• counsel-spotify-search-tracks-by-album
• counsel-spotify-search-tracks-by-artist

The options are fetched from Spotify REST API. Hitting RET while selecting an option will start playing that track or album (depending on what the search were). Also, hitting M-o will prompt a tiny menu with some more actions to choose from (for example, choosing to play the entire album a song belongs to)

There are defined some basic controllers for the Spotify App

Well, in that case I think you would be interested in two variables:

• counsel-spotify-service-name is the name of the DBUS service counsel-spotify calls to handle the reproduction of a song
• counsel-spotify-use-system-bus-p for some clients that use the system bus instead of the session
