Playing album #224

Closed pachecoke closed 3 years ago

I noticed that when using the Spotify search syntax for an album, it will only play the first song in the album. Is it possible to play the entire album (like a playlist) if no song is specified?

For example:

$botify play $spotify artist:linkin park album:meteora

Otherwise, I don't see a way to play an entire album without first going to Spotify and adding the album to a private playlist.

We've been really enjoying the bot so far!

By default the bot searches a track when the $spotify argument is used. artist: and album: are merely filters applied to the search query (see the section regarding field filters on the Spotify API documentation), not specifiers describing what the bot should search. To search for a Spotify album, use the $album argument, e.g. play $spotify $album meteora artist:linkin park. Btw you can also use the Spotify URI or open.spotify URL, e.g. play spotify:album:4Gfnly5CzMJQqkUFfoHaP3 or play https://open.spotify.com/album/4Gfnly5CzMJQqkUFfoHaP3?si=2Giu3i6uTyiKgtesrd7jDw respectively.

Also, spotify is the default source, so unless you've configured the default source property (using the property command or by changing the default value in the configuration file), the $spotify argument is not required.

Thank you! This was very useful and answered my question.
