Spotify to Soundpad

You must have Soundpad and Spotify running BEFORE launching this software!

A Windows app for synchronizing Spotify with Soundpad:

How to use it

1. Download the latest .exe from the releases page
2. Open Spotify and play a song
3. Open Soundpad
4. Run the .exe

It periodically checks what is playing in Spotify and if it changes it will automatically pause Spotify, download an MP3 of the song from YouTube, add it to Soundpad and play it.

Issues

It takes forever to load / Windows Defender complains

Run it anyway and/or add it to Windows Defender exceptions.

Spotify next track isnt played

In spotify go to settings and uncheck "Show desktop overlay when using media keys".

Development

1. download yt-dlp.exe (v2022.05.18) and ffmpeg.exe (4.2.3) and place into bin directory in root
2. run npm run build to build every bit
3. run npm run package to package up as a single app for distribution (under release directory)

Ideas

• pre-download songs such as in a playlist
• fade between songs
• normalise volume level (some youtube songs are super quiet)
