FAQPage Schema
How do I control Spotify from the command line?▼

Use spogo for terminal Spotify control: run `spogo play`, `spogo pause`, `spogo next`, or `spogo prev` for playback, and `spogo search track "query"` to find songs. The spotify_player CLI works as a fallback with similar commands.

What is the difference between spogo and spotify_player?▼

spogo is the preferred lightweight CLI for Spotify search and playback control, while spotify_player is a fallback option offering a full terminal UI with shortcuts. Both require a Spotify Premium account and can be installed via Homebrew.

Does terminal Spotify control require a Premium account?▼

Yes, a Spotify Premium account is required for both spogo and spotify_player. Free accounts cannot use the playback control APIs these tools rely on.

How do I authenticate spogo with my Spotify account?▼

Import your browser cookies by running `spogo auth import --browser chrome` after installing spogo. This transfers your existing Spotify session from Chrome to the CLI tool.

How do I switch Spotify playback to another device from the terminal?▼

Run `spogo device list` to see available Spotify Connect devices, then use `spogo device set "<name|id>"` to move playback. For Spotify Connect integration with spotify_player, set a user client_id in the config file.
