I automate this on my pi, you need to grab a auth token, easiest way is to run the script on your desktop first, on the mac it will create a hidden file on the desktop (auth token), copy this to the script location on the pi. Now it doesn't need to open a web browser to auth.

I run it from cron twice a week
0 8 * * 1 cd /home/pi/Scripts && /home/pi/Scripts/spotify.py > /home/pi/Scripts/spotify.log 2>&1
