Hi Jeran,
If you feel like doing some coding, Spotify exposes a simple HTTP service
which lets you control the player, load playlists and run pretty much any
function.
The node script below will start playing at 8am a playlist by its address
and stop a 6pm. It will also loop the playlist once it ends or if the music
is paused.
To find the address of a playlist, right click on that list in the player >
share > copy link to clipboard.
const SpotifyWebHelper = require('spotify-web-helper');
var schedule = require('node-schedule');
const helper = SpotifyWebHelper();
const playListUrl =
'https://open.spotify.com/user/spotify/playlist/37i9dQZEVXcTznrFTAj4JR';
helper.player.on('error', err => {
if (error.message.match(/No user logged in/)) {
console.log('User is not logged in')
} else {
console.log(err)
}
});
helper.player.on('ready', () => {
helper.player.on('end', () => {
console.log("Repeating list...")
helper.player.play(playListUrl);
});
helper.player.on('pause', () => {
console.log("Resuming playback...")
helper.player.play(playListUrl);
});
helper.player.play(playListUrl);
});
schedule.scheduleJob('0 8 * * *', function(){ //8am
helper.player.play(playListUrl);
});
schedule.scheduleJob('0 18 * * *', function(){ //6pm
helper.player.pause();
});
