A simple node.js program to listen to Spotify tracks, albums and playlists
#!/usr/bin/env node
'use strict';
/*
This is a simple Spotify cli-based client with optional Icecast2/shout support!
It should work for non-premium users, but you must connect your Spotify account to Facebook.
Usage:
$ node spotify <spotify uris> <playlist uri> <album uri> <track uri> <etc...>
Created by djazz, with help from TooTallNate.
Tested on the Raspberry Pi with node.js v0.8.21 and Arch Linux ARM.
Installation instructions (for the Raspberry Pi):
- Install these packages (example for Arch Linux ARM):
$ sudo pacman -S nodejs git
If you use Raspbian, you must either compile node.js yourself or find a PPA for it.
The nodejs package in the Raspbian repos is outdated (v0.6 something).
- Put this file in a directory and name the file spotify.js, and make it executable:
$ chmod +x spotify.js
- Install the node-spotify-web node.js module
$ mkdir node_modules && cd node_modules
$ git clone git://github.com/TooTallNate/node-spotify-web.git
$ cd node-spotify-web/
$ npm install
$ cd ../..
- Create the file containing you Spotify username and password:
$ mkdir spotify_cred/
$ nano -w spotify_cred/cred.json
Paste this, and replace with your login details:
{"login": "USERNAME", "password": "PASSWORD"}
Press Ctrl+X, Y and Enter to save.
- Install the lame node.js module (mp3 codec):
$ npm install lame
- Install the speaker module (only if you want to have local audio playback,
not needed if you want Icecast-only):
$ npm install speaker
- (Optional) Install the node.js modules required for Icecast streaming:
$ npm install ogg vorbis throttle
- You are now done! Try run it like this:
$ node spotify spotify:track:3N9huFk2IceMSlKoZLaUsv
Enjoy!

It doesn't seems to work anymore, no, it tries to login with username and password, while the library underneath it (node-spotify-web) wants a CSRF Token.

spotify.js:256
  debug('login CSRF token: %j, tracking ID: %j', args.csrftoken, args.trackingId);
                                                      ^

TypeError: Cannot read property 'csrftoken' of undefined
    at Spotify._onsecret (node_modules\node-spotify-web\lib\spotify.js:256:55)
