Add command to star/unstar

[jonjaques]

Hey, just wanted to say thanks - works great. I noticed there is only an option to see the status of whether a song is starred or not. It would be great if there was an option to set the status as well.

It seems like there's no menu option in Spotify to set a song to starred, perhaps this is why you can't set it via AppleScript? I'm not familiar enough with it to know what the limitations are.

Let me look into this, if I remember correctly there isn't an option via AS to do so, but I will check.

Just checked this and it's not possible via applescript. No option for it.

[jonjaques]

Thanks for checking!

Funny! I was going to add this to your AppleScript and my search landed me here. :P Bummer! I'll keep searching and let you know if anything comes along. Thanks for script to begin with!

[phpfunk]

Thanks, I tried a hackish way as well using spotify:// commands, unsuccessful so far as well.

Would really appreciate this too, lets hope they add the possibility soon.

[phpfunk]

Still searching as well. Going to reopen this as a feature request for when/if they add this option.

Seems a few people have gotten this going with various solutions - http://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-Ideas/Keyboard-shortcut-to-star-the-playing-song/idi-p/24551 and here http://superuser.com/questions/324416/any-spotify-tweaks-with-keyboard-shortcut-to-star-tracks and here https://npmjs.org/browse/keyword/spotify - just somehow needs to be wrapped in the workflow.

i have a "to listen to later" playlist with albums suggested by friends that i sometimes listen, then STAR the ones I like and REMOVE all the songs i already heard a couple of times.

i tried to modify a cocoalibspotify sample app to do just that with the currently playing track, with some stupid limitations, like that it has to be the first playlist (at the top) and has to be called "testPlaylist" until now. and because it uses cocoalibspotify you obviously need a premium account. (stores username and credential(not pw!) in a plist in your library after first login, spotify says that's fine, so you don't really "see" anything of the app exept the login window at 1st launch)

to just star the current track without modifying a playlist, the only limitation is that you need to have a premium account

i don't have time anymore and no motivation to finish this thing, so if someone wants to do this, just copy this sloppy, ugly code : https://github.com/bzzbzzz/SpotifyClientSavedForLaterPlaylistControls alfred workflow: https://www.dropbox.com/s/uap4cqne8nbopu9/Spotify%20SavedForLaterPlaylist%20alpha.alfredworkflow
