High CPU usage on MacOS

vscode-spotify

Use Spotify inside vscode. Provides integration with Spotify Desktop client.

Note that some of the functionalities are only available on macOS systems (see How it works section)

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, the 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.

Commands

There are a number of commands available for the extension, and accessible via the command pallette. Find them by searching for "Spotify" in the command pallette:

Adding or changing hotkeys

All keyboard shortcuts in vscode can be customized via the User/keybindings.json file.

To configure keyboard shortcuts the way you want, go to the menu under File > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts. This will open the Default Keyboard Shortcuts on the left and your User/keybindings.json file where you can overwrite the default bindings on the right. You may also see an interface to modify the shortcuts on different versions of vscode.

Example :

{
		"command": "spotify.volumeDown",
		"key": "cmd+shift+g"
}

For more info on hotkeys please look at https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/customization/keybindings

Buttons

This extension provides a variety of buttons to control Spotify from status bar. By default 4 buttons are enabled:

Previous track
Play / Pause
Next track
Mute / Unmute

You can modify the shown buttons by changing your parameters (go here to find out how):

"spotify.showNextButton": {
	"type": "boolean",
	"default": true,
	"description": "Whether to show next button."
},
"spotify.showPreviousButton": {
	"type": "boolean",
	"default": true,
	"description": "Whether to show previous button."
},

	"description": "Whether to show play button."
},
"spotify.showPauseButton": {
	"type": "boolean",
	"default": false,
	"description": "Whether to show pause button."

Note that due to limitations of Spotify's Applescript API toggleRepeatingButton toggles only 'repeat all' property of spotify. There is no way to set 'repeat one' via vscode-spotify.

You can also change the position of buttons by changing the parameters below:

"spotify.priorityBase": {
	"type": "number",
	"default": 30,
	"description": "Base value of priority for all vscode-spotify elements in Status Bar(priority = basePriority+priority). This is done to avoid 'conflicts' with other extensions. "
},
"spotify.nextButtonPriority": {
	"type": "number",
	"default": 8,
	"description": "Priority of next button."
},
"spotify.previousButtonPriority": {
	"type": "number",
	"default": 10,
	"description": "Priority of previous button."
},
"spotify.playButtonPriority": {

Seeking to a specific point in a song

You can use Spotify Seek To command (spotify.seekTo) to seek to the specific point in a song. You can specify hotkey that will seek to a custom time in a song by adding keybinding in keybindings.json. For example:

{
    "command": "spotify.seekTo",
    "key": "alt+d",
    "args": "1:15"
}
