Play a song without opening the App

[vikomen]

I have just installed this on Mac and I have the following behaviour. When I use the play command it plays the correct song, however, it opens the spotify app and puts it into focus. This occurs when I have it on another screen, it is minimised and all other situations. Would it be possible to execute the command without putting the gui app into focus?

I am also interested in this one, have you found a workaround?

Unfortunately not. It is a really annoying issue and I can't seem to figure out what behaiviour causes this as pausing or playing the next song doesn't seem to call the gui app.

i found this:
https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player
but it looks I have to wait a bit for the search function from cli to be able to play the song, like in the readme, it looks merged to master, but not yet released.
