 (* Script to record and tag spotify tracks, by Lloyd Moore *)
 (* Modified by Tiffany G. Wilson to resolve audio splitting issues, automate starting/stopping, and add recording customization *)
 (* Snippets for controlling Spotify are from Johnny B on tumblr (http://johnnyb.tumblr.com/post/25716608379/spotify-offline-playlist) *)
 (* The idea of using delayed tagging/filename updating is from a guest user on pastebin (http://pastebin.com/rHqY0qg9) *)
 (* The only thing to change in the script is the output format; you must change the file extension and the recording format to match *)
 (* Run this script once a song you want to record is queued (stopped at beginning) or playing *)
 (* Running the script will initiate hijacking, recording and audio playback *)
 (* To stop script, pause Spotify or wait for album/playlist to end*)
 (* To set id3 tags, use application Kid3 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/kid3/) and copy '%{artist} - %{album} - %{track} - %{title}' from file name to Tag 2 *)
