to install:

yay -S gospt

or to build from source by pulling and building the binary

git clone https://gitea.asdf.cafe/abs3nt/gospt

cd gospt

make build then

sudo make install

go here https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/applications to make a spotify application. you will need a client ID and a client secret. add your information to ~/.config/gospt/client.yml like this

client_id: "idgoeshere"
client_secret: "secretgoeshere"
port: "8888"

if you dont want to store your secret in the file in plaintext you can use a command to retreive it:

client_secret_cmd: "secret spotify_secret"

you should have either client_secret or client_secret_cmd

then run

gospt

you will be asked to login, you will only have to do this the first time. After login you will be asked to select your default device, this will also only happen once. To reset your device run gospot setdevice

To use the custom radio feature:

gospt radio

or hit ctrl+r on any track in the TUI. This will start an extended radio. To replenish the current radio run gospt refillradio and all the songs already listened will be removed and that number of new recomendations will be added.

This radio uses slightly different logic than the standard spotify radio to give a longer playlist and more recomendation. With a cronjob you can schedule refill to run to have an infinite and morphing radio station.
