[Spotify Player] ... default playback device

[samtfischer]

Extension

https://www.raycast.com/mattisssa/spotify-player

Raycast Version

1.76.0

macOS Version

14.4

Description

When I pick a song/album to play and spotify isn't currently running or open anywhere, it defaults to a device that I'm not always near. Can I set it to default to a specific playback device? Or just force it to launch a web player?

Steps To Reproduce

Search for something and play it

Current Behaviour

Plays out of whatever the first available spotify connect device that's available

Expected Behaviour

I'd like it to launch a web player and play locally on the device I'm launching from.

Are you maybe playing Spotify from another active device (phone, TV, or else)? If there are no active devices, the action is supposed to launch Spotify and play the music.

If the desktop app isn’t installed, should it launch the web player?

Thanks, Sam Fischer

It's not launching the web player as of now as we assume the desktop app is installed.
