"Spotify cannot play the current song" - So restart it! (restart spotify from mac command line)

restart_spotify.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# I got sick of constantly getting the error from spotify that it cannot play
# the current song. It was really annoying to have to quit, open spotlight,
# Type "spot" and accidentally open spotlight system preferences, wait for spotify
# to open, etc...

# This script, on a mac, uses osascript to quit and relaunch spotify and press play

osascript -e 'tell application "Spotify" to quit'

osascript <<'EOF'
repeat until application "Spotify" is not running
	delay 1
end repeat
EOF

open -a Spotify

osascript <<'EOF'
repeat until application "Spotify" is running
	delay 1
end repeat
EOF

osascript -e 'tell application "Spotify" to playpause'
