Automatically open Spotify when Spotifree opens and quit Spotifree when Spotify quits... #20

...since there's no point in running Spotifree without Spotify running. Similarly, when Spotify quits, there's no need to run Spotifree, so quit automatically too.

Now all you have to do is open one app when you want ad-free Spotify, and quitting Spotify will clean everything up.

Hi Allen, Thanks for the contribution! How is it working for you?

Hi Artem, it seems to work well for me, I haven't noticed any problems. It's my first time using AppleScript, but I think the changes were pretty safe. Here's how I use it:

Since I launch Spotify from Spotlight, having both the regular Spotify app and Spotifree appear in the results is a bit confusing, so I hid Spotify like so:

system preferences

Now I can just type "Spot" and Spotifree will be the top hit.

Spotify+Spotifree will open, and when I'm done with Spotify, CMD+Q exits it, and Spotifree quits itself immediately after.

Closing as absolete. In the new app we decided not to implement this feature. Instead, Spotifree intelligently detects whether Spotify is running, and activates/deactivates itself accordingly.
