This extension requires Spotify Premium to work on Windows

How it works

  • On macOS, this extension uses spotify-node-applescript (basically a wrapper for the official Spotify AppleScript API) to communicate with Spotify.
  • On Windows, it extension uses the Spotify Web API.
  • On Linux, it uses a combination of dbus and pactl.

Spotify Web API implementation can be used on any platform, but it does have some drawbacks:

  • It doesn't work without internet connection (Linux and OS X implementations do).
  • Full functionality is only available to Spotify Premium users.
  • API calls are rate limited.

At the same time it provides tighter integration and it's more or less future proofed.

Features

  • Shows the currently playing song in the vscode status bar.
  • Provides commands for controlling Spotify from vscode.
  • Provides hotkeys of commands.
  • Provides buttons for controlling Spotify from vscode.
