Description

A spotify python script based on the spotipy module. This script checks for the current playing song in the spotify and retrieves the song uri (spotify unique song code). This uri is checked whether it exists in liked songs and if its not there then its added . Now inorder to display this we use winotify to display the results. And this script is is assigned a shortcut (lnk file) where the keyboard shortcuts are assigned.
