I have a problem I copied the code and put it into scriptable and I get this message...
D34B8D6B-3277-409F-A504-595B6D0E219A
How do I fix it ?

I have a couple of weeks modifying your code, to create my own version of the widget, but I would like to select 'play',pause','next','previous' as buttons with functions in the widget, only I don't know how to add them. I already add a function(play), but I don't know how to add more than one.

I'll attach more screenshots and a video later so you can see the problem and if you like I can send you the code directly to see if you can make the addition of these.

By the way, I hope it wasn't wrong for me to take your code without asking to modify it.
Excuse my English, I speak Spanish, but I understand English a little bit.

Hey. Does your widget "update" work as you planned it? I am really interested in a version giving me the possibility to play/pause (etc.). Thanks!

How do you start the function „play“?
So how do you add a button to a widget?
Could you share your code so I can analyse it to maybe help?

I would like to see the next/ back button and play/pause button on the small widget! Is this possible?

got it! but look at the size of the spotify icons

I have tested all the solutions according to the author's reply to you, but it still doesn't work, how did you solve it.

I still can't get it to update fast, but through the spotify API I made Play / Pause / Next / Previous work.

Can you share that widget with the play and pause buttons?
Sorry to bother if you don't have these widgets now, but if you do can you share them?
Thanks in advance!

Whoever made it, I am very grateful for making the music playback widget from Spotify

But this only has a little problem with the playback being slow to update so there is a delay when the next new song is played. This widget doesn't immediately change it to the song that is currently playing but was delayed for some time, and it changes by itself. Hopefully it will be improved in the future. once again I am very grateful.

Why doesn't Spotify directly have a playback widget, only a playlist widget? I don't know, maybe there will be one later, adios thank you.

The usual method used by Spotify Downloader Playlists to download music files is to extract audio from Spotify's servers or use their official APIs. These programs submit requests to access particular songs, playlists, or albums in order to simulate user interactions. After being recovered, the music is transformed into downloadable file types, such as FLAC or MP3.
