Spotify

What

Show the currently playing song in the Spotify macOS/Windows clients.

caution

Be aware this can make the prompt a tad bit slower as it needs to get a response from the Spotify player.

On macOS, all states are supported (playing/paused/stopped).

On Windows/WSL, only the playing state is supported (no information when paused/stopped). It supports fetching information from the native Spotify application and Edge PWA.
