Devlog 32:

(sorry for the late post)
I have been working on a really cool feature for the app. Basically what I am trying to do is integrate the myMusic pipeline into the windows Spotify app itself. When you right click a playlist or album, there will be a menu that pops up. Usually for normal Spotify users (not on premium) there will be a greyed out download button. What I am trying to do is two things: add a download button for tracks (because there isn’t one right now), and make the playlist/album button actually work.

Right now what I have accomplished is adding a new button for the track and making the playlist/album button clickable. I was able to do this by using Spicetify and its framework. Because I already have it installed on my computer I am using it to test everything out but later I will bundle it with my app. What I did was build a custom Spicetify extension (I had to learn JavaScript) that creates a new button.

I was able to make the original playlist/album button work because it was only “aria-disabled”, not actually disabled. This means that it was only disabled at the UI level, but Spotify still recorded clicks. By applying some UI changes I was able to make the button look enabled and still record clicks.

My next step is to actually hook this up to the Python script. I think this is a really cool feature.
