OMG I've been looking to get this working on OS X for agessss (Terminal kept spewing out the "cannot find command spd" thing) so I thought I'd chance on your instructions as they're very different to everything else I've seen. It works perfectly, thank you so much!

Happy I could help ! :)

It can be very frustrating that such software could not been installed in a snap

Many thanks Quinton for your work !

@fredericmalo Thanks for giving back! If you want to create a pull request with this in the README, I can merge that in as well. I may have some time soon to see if we can work around that v0.10.x issue.

@dangrove98 cheers!

Hello,

I would love to make pull request. Before that, how can I make the "spd" command work ?

I could only make "node main.js -u user -p password -l spotify:user:spotify:playlist:06KmJWiQhL0XiV6QQAHsmw" work and it's not as cute as "spd ..."

Thanks !
