Simple terminal interface to set up a song to play as your alarm in the morning from Spotify

requests [pip install requests]

schedule (0.3.2) [if you don't have it, just do a pip install schedule. if you don't have pip, get it!]

Python (2.7.10) [probably any 2.x variant will work, as long as you have schedule]

Mac OS X (I used 10.11.4 but I bet most versions would work fine)

Spotify [obviously]

Open up Terminal and cd to the directory you downloaded spotify.py to.

The syntax is:

usage: spotify.py [-h] -t TIME [-s SONG [SONG ...]] [-a ARTIST [ARTIST ...]]

Script to randomize Spotify song input on alarm time

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -t TIME, --time TIME  Alarm Clock Time : xx:xx
  -s SONG [SONG ...], --song SONG [SONG ...]
                        Play a specific song : SONG_NAME
  -a ARTIST [ARTIST ...], --artist ARTIST [ARTIST ...]
                        Play from specific artist : ARTIST_NAME

For example:

python spotify.py -t 07:00 -s never gonna give you up

No longer requires the ID, it will auto convert english to track id

Hit enter, and leave Terminal up. Leave your computer awake and set to the desired volume for the alarm. Also, leave Spotify open.

In the morning, at hh:mm, that particular song will play on Spotify.

At any point after setting the alarm, go back to the Terminal window press CTRL+C to quit the alarm. From there you can type in a new command with a new time/song, should you change your mind.

Enjoy! In the future, I can implement the ability to play a Playlist or Album or Radio. For now, it's just a single Song as the param.

I should note this is only for Mac OS X, as it requires AppleScript to control Spotify.
