5. You are now ready to authenticate with Spotify!
6. Go back to the terminal
7. Run ./rofi-spotify.py --setup
8. Enter your Client ID
9. Enter your Client Secret
10. Enter your Redirect URI
11. You will be redirected to an official Spotify webpage to ask you for permissions.
12. Enter the localhost url from the browser
13. Ready to use :)

Your config will be stored under ~/.config/rofi-spotify/config

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.
