spotify-remote
Advanced tools
spotify-remote allows you to control Spotify from a browser. Currently it works by talking to Spotify via its AppleScript interface, so only OS X is supported at the moment.
spotify-remote tries to be a lightweight client-server solution for controlling your Spotify, being as battery-friendly and mobile-friendly as possible.
One of the major issues regarding performance at the moment is the usage of AppleScript to poll the Spotify client. The aim is to either optimize the usage of AppleScript to shrink its CPU consumption or find a different solution altogether.
Install Node.js
Install spotify-remote in a shell:
$ npm install -g spotify-remote
$ npm update -g spotify-remote

Start the spotify-remote server in a shell:
$ spotify-remote
Open http://localhost:3333 in your browser
If you need a different port, just use the PORT environment variable:
$ PORT=1337 spotify-remote
