# A script to start spotify with ad-mute, notification and auto storage-clean features
# By <[email protected]>

# Ad mute based on

# https://gist.github.com/pcworld/3198763/#comment-857143

# Notification function depends on https://code.google.com/p/spotify-notify/ 
# Place the script in your ~/bin. Or modify script accordingly.

# spotify binary should be present in your $PATH. If not, uncomment this line and
# link the binary to the script dir. Also change the line at the end
#script_dir="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )" # http://stackoverflow.com/a/246128

was_paused=0 # if last state was paused
ad=0 # if an ad is probably playing right now

storage_dir="${HOME}/.cache/spotify/Storage/" # dir to clean periodically
clean_interval=3600
