Thank you for Baton, loving it so far. I have only one annoyance so far, and I wanted to get your feedback.

My listening is oriented around albums. Which is why I appreciate being able to do a "baton search artist NAME", select an artist, and then using the right arrow, go ahead and select a specific album, or even a song. However, after hitting play and exiting the view, I don't have a way to return to it. I can hit the up arrow and repeat the original search, but that requires me to start again from the artist and the album. The same problem exists when playing a song from a playlist using "baton me playlists".

Would it make sense to implement a command that shows the last screen again? Something like "baton current" or "baton list"? I'd be happy to send a pull request if you provide details on how you'd like it to work. I am guessing that the main problem is figuring out how to cleanly save state as the user moves through the tables.

Reddit user /u/StormsMessenger would like the ability to add/remove songs to playlists

Hi!
Very nice work but I have a problem using search function.

Every search gets error invalid argument.

For example:
./baton search artist Iron Maiden
2018/02/23 20:56:43 invalid argument
Other functions like next, repeat, status and devices are working.

Any search command shows the results just fine, but when I choose one, nothing is played and I get a log message: "404 Not Found".

[ ~ ] baton search artist foo  # Press enter to choose an artist from the TUI 
2018/06/24 12:27:28 404 Not Found

Using baton share outputs the URI and the API urls, where it should replace or include some "shareable" URL.

Current output:

baton share  
URI: spotify:track:2OBgZrayUVupeEtt1eu2V4
URL: https://api.spotify.com/v1/tracks/2OBgZrayUVupeEtt1eu2V4

It should include some URL that I could send to someone, e.g.: https://open.spotify.com/track/2OBgZrayUVupeEtt1eu2V4

/u/IrishLadd on Reddit requested the ability to see what song is currently playing in the TUI view.

Hi!
first of all thank you for this amazing tool :)

It would be nice if it were possible to like the currently playing song, as there is an endpoint for it : https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/library/save-tracks-user/

keep up with the good work!

This tool is awesome, ideally I just miss the ability to start a radio from the current song. Unless it's already supported through other mechanisms ?

Hello @joshuathompson,

I made https://github.com/jingweno/spotctl before I discovered your project. Looks like we have quite a bit of overlap. Would you be interested in joining force? Feel free to ping me.

$ ./baton search track foo bar
Error: accepts 1 arg(s), received 2
Usage:
  baton search track "track name" [flags]

Flags:
  -h, --help   help for track

I'm not sure what cobra.ExactArgs(1) does exactly, but correct behaviour is definitely just combining all the words into a single argument string to the search function.

edit: of course there's the option of quoting the string, but that's not too user friendly imo.

The old asciicast recording was archived (https://asciinema.org/a/RgR4iT9wz2J3bjCx0p7Wj9Rnn) and should either restore it or get a new terminal sample that shows off some features.

I have set up a raspberry pi with raspotify and it is recognized by baton devices.
But baton transfer <id> does not do anything.

Would really like to have there be a command to run like baton console that would keep it persistent so that I could have easy keyboard shortcuts to change my music. Not sure how feasible that would be but it's a feature I would really enjoy.
