I call this bash script from my i3 config. See below.
bindsym $mod+Shift+Home exec st -n Lyrics -e spotify-lyrics
for_window [instance="Lyrics"] floating enable; [instance="Lyrics"] move position center
for_window [instance="Lyrics"] resize set 644 388
bindsym $mod+Control+k exec lyrics-move -1
bindsym $mod+Control+j exec lyrics-move 1
Open the lyrics in a buffer.
(defun spotify-lyrics ()
(interactive)
(let ((string (shell-command-to-string "spotify-lyrics-once")))
(get-buffer-create "lyrics-buffer")
(switch-to-buffer-other-window "lyrics-buffer")
(with-current-buffer "lyrics-buffer"
(goto-char (point-max))
(erase-buffer)
(insert string)
(goto-line 1))))
You can use spotify-lyrics-once to output the lyrics to the stdout and exit. If you have program that utilizes stdin, you can use this version. An example for such program is Conky.
