[Feature Request] Option to only play 1 song #410

I guess this is gonna be pretty specific to my use case, but who knows.

I would love a toggle that lets you set "one song only" mode. A local media outlet has their latest news bulletins on Spotify in a playlist, so I can very easily use spotcast to play the most recent bulletin. Unfortunately, after that one is done, some random music starts. I would prefer the player to just go back to the "off" state, so I can sense that in HA and cast the next bit of media to it. Is that at all possible?

I just came across the exact same requirement. I have multiple podcast shows and would like to listen to the most recent episode of each of these shows to build an automation for a news routine.

@Timmiej93 that wouldn't really be possible in a useful way. Spotcast loses context after sending a play request.

That's something you should deal with yourself in an automation directly.
