  • play/pause current track
  • skip to next/previous track
  • add/remove song to saved
  • volume up/down music

🎶 Spotify API

Based on simple REST principles, the Spotify Web API endpoints return JSON metadata about music artists, albums, and tracks, directly from the Spotify Data Catalogue.

If no action on Spotify is made, please open your app and start play music manually. Then, you can use this app to control it.
