# This is sp, the command-line Spotify controller. It talks to a running | |
# instance of the Spotify Linux client over dbus, providing an interface not | |
# unlike mpc. | |
# | |
# Put differently, it allows you to control Spotify without leaving the comfort | |
# of your command line, and without a custom client or Premium subscription. | |
# | |
# As an added bonus, it also works with ssh, at and cron. | |
# | |
# Example: | |
# $ sp weather girls raining men | |
# $ sp current | |
# Album 100 Hits Of The '80s | |
# Artist The Weather Girls | |
# Title It's Raining Men | |
# $ sp pause | |
# | |
# Alarm clock example: | |
# $ at 7:45 <<< 'sp bangarang' | |
# | |
# Remote example: | |
# $ ssh vader@prod02.nomoon.ta 'sp imperial march' | |

Great script!
There should be an additional shortcut: sp rr
which would alias to sp open spotify:track:4cOdK2wGLETKBW3PvgPWqT
I have updated the searching. If anyone is interested in the changes, I've published them here:
