Supported commands
spotify-cli now-playing
spotify-cli play-pause
spotify-cli previous
spotify-cli next
spotify-cli play-album <search-string>
spotify-cli play-artist <search-string>
spotify-cli play-track <search-string>
play-album
, play-artist
and play-track
search for the supplied name using
the spotify metadata API, and play the first result (if any).
search-string
doesn't have to match the album or track title exactly - in
fact you will probably get better results if you specify the artist name along
with the album or track name e.g.
spotify-cli play-album "sepultura arise"
