Spotify Ideas

[#1]

By just hitting (s) or (*) key

[#2]

Please implement this!

[#3]

I also want this implemented!

[#4]

PLEASE!!!!!!!! Why is this so hard to implement?  Even if you could just make it a menu item, we could create a shortcut for it!

[#5]

I'd love this feature as well. Perfect for when for example coding, playing etc. <3

The only reason I even use spotify is because the universal keyboard shortcuts provided by toastify but I need the ability to star tracks as I work the same way I do with any other music player.

Use this as a Auto HotKey script:

#h::
WinWait, Spotify,
IfWinNotActive, Spotify, , WinActivate, Spotify,
WinWaitActive, Spotify,
MouseClick, left,  67,  140
Sleep, 100
MouseClick, left,  236,  152
Sleep, 100
return

I would also love this feature myself. I'm constantly using "star" to pick tracks I like from all the new albums I listen to, in effort to make my starred playlist all of the best songs of albums I have listened to over time. Each new album I listen through I make a call whether to star or not in this process. 

Anyway, the above script didn't work, but this did for me:

Pasted below:

CoordMode, Mouse, Relative
;star currently playing
+^l::
SpotifyWinHeight = 1050 ;set to 1080 - 30 for small taskbar size, just in case WinGetPos doesn't work for some reason
WinGetActiveTitle, CurWindow
WinActivate Spotify
WinWaitActive Spotify
WinGetPos,  ,  ,  , SpotifyWinHeight, Spotify
;          X  Y  W  H, we don't care about anything but height
RightClickTarget := SpotifyWinHeight - 250
ContextMenuTarget := RightClickTarget + 110
MouseMove, 100, %RightClickTarget%
Click Right
Sleep, 50
MouseMove, 180, %ContextMenuTarget%
Sleep, 50
Click
WinActivate %CurWindow%
return

I've written a Python script which will "star" a given track, using libspotify: https://github.com/swinton/starrify

Seems like it should be fairly straightforward to grab what's currently playing, via the Spotify AppleScript dictionary, and feed this to the script, and then assign a global keyboard shortcut, e.g. using an Alfred keyboard shortcut.

Anyone fancy giving it a go?
