emmanuelvlad/spotifyd-tui.sh

For those who don't want to run spotifyd with systemd and are also using spotify-tui. There's a tiny script that starts the daemon before launching spt

Start (and stop) the spotifyd daemon with spotify-tui.
+ Shortcut commands and handling spotify's URLs for command play

First steps

Clone it in the directory of your choice
You could also just download the .sh file, but you can keep it up to date by doing a git pull
gcl https://github.com/emmanuelvlad/spotifyd-tui.sh.git $HOME/Documents/scripts

Make the script executable
chmod +x $HOME/Documents/scripts/spotifyd-tui.sh/spotify.sh
