Usage

Create a keybinding which launches the script. To be able to play song you will need a running spotify client (e.g. spotifyd)

By default:

• the script will give notifications (with notify-send) when starting a playlist/song
• choose the first available active spotify device

To disable notification you can use the flag --no-notify.

To select a default device which should get used run the script once with --set-default-device. This will give you a rofi prompt to select a currently available device and will save that in the config file for the future.
