A nodejs app to control Spotify without leaving your terminal. Only works with Mac Os as it relies on AppleScript behind the scenes to communicate with the Spotify app.
npm install spotify-cli-mac -g
Client will be available under the alias spotify
In order to use the client, you'll need to set Spotify Credentials. You can do this by going to developer dashboard and then creating a new application.
Once you have created a new Spotify Application, just run the Spotify CLI with spotify token command to set your tokens.
