This script adds the currently playing title in MPV to a user-defined Spotify playlist. You can use it by pressing the 'P' keybinding or by enabling the autosave feature.

If your radio does not broadcast title, you can use this script along with mpv-radio-title.

Usage

Press P to add current title to your Spotify playlist.

Config

• Edit spotify.lua

local settings = {
    bind_key = "P", -- Prefered key binding
    spotify_helper_path = "spotify_helper", -- Path to Spotify Helper
    playlist_id = "https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZEVXcIrtIexJhQmZ?si=84a21eb7d0ff4efd", -- Right click on playlist > Share > Copy Link to Playlist
    autosave = false, -- Autosave to Spotify when title is changing
}

• Create an app on https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/
  • Configure Redirect URIs to http://localhost:45678/callback
• Now you can configure the CLIENT_ID and SECRET_ID values in spotify_helper
