Description

This spotify display will get currently playing artist and track from the native spotify client and also grab the corresponding album art to it.

It's using python so you'll have to istall python and python-dbus before you can use it.
In ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install python python-dbus

Read the readme file for further instructions.

I've written the part which gets the album artwork myself but the part which uses dbus to get the current song I found here:

Hey dude, great job with that spotify conky !
I was looking for something like that and this one is pretty good.
I upgraded some part of your code for my own, and it doesn’t use bash anymore.
There was also an issue with some artist like motörhead (caused by the ö), the album cover was not downloaded and I fixed that too.

So here is the code, if you want to see it ;)
