!! Spotify and Spicetify now exist in official scoop repos. Spicetify also includes adblock extensions now. This fork is being maintained only for my personal use from now on. !!

https://github.com/Ash258/Scoop-Core#installation

A Scoop bucket for Spotify, Spicetify and related packages.

scoop bucket add spotify https://github.com/zwxi/Scoop-Spotify.git

...I've spent an unhealthy amount of time on automating all of this.

• Be sure to check the spicetify-cli repo and spicetify-themes repo for open issues if you face any errors. Feel free to open an issue here too.
• Forked from the original repo and remaintained fixing all errors.
• All instances of the original are replaced in this README. This is not an attempt to steal credit.
• Rewritten some parts to update with the current status of the spicetify project
• PRs to the original repo merged to this one. All of them are mentioned in their respective commit descriptions too.
  • Use Windows SID instead of the name Everyone for better system language compatibility #47 by dionysius
  • Fix init-spicetify-config script for spicetify v2 #51 by SaifAqqad
  • Update the config init script to handle both the profiles #61 by Lunchb0ne

• If the manifest has been recently updated due to very recent changes to the respective repos this error might occour.
• Feel free the click the link that pops up when this happens to report the issue (you can also manually report an issue)
• You can also use the -s or --skip flag when installing/updating to skip the hash-check step

If it shows any error while running scoop update, you can

• Try again after some time to see if it goes away
• Remove and re-add the bucket with scoop bucket rm spotify and scoop bucket add spotify https://github.com/zwxi/Scoop-Spotify.git all apps will stay installed

• None of the packages in this bucket can be installed globally.
• If you have the means, please buy Spotify Premium instead of installing BlockTheSpot.
• All of the Spicetify packages require Spotify to be installed either through this Scoop bucket or the official installer.
• All themes, extensions and custom apps for Spicetify should be installed to ~\.spicetify instead of the spicetify-cli installation directory.
• Installing or updating any of the packages in this bucket automatically applies the Spicetify configuration and preserves BlockTheSpot if it is installed.
• Extension managers such as spicetify-marketplace can be installed with it's installation instructions nativeley. Use spicetify-apply instead of spicetify apply as always after installation
• All Spicetify packages apart from spicetify-cli depend on spicetify-cli.
• --purge or -p should be used to fully uninstall all packages apart from blockthespot, google-spicetify and spicetify-themes.

• This blocks advertisements for the latest version of Spotify.
• This package depends on spotify-latest and spicetify-cli.
• Spicetify will also auto install but it won't theme by default so changes will be minimal. Spicetify is needed to remove upgrade buttons
• This is not an executable program. spotify-latest will be patched automatically every time this package or any of the Spicetify packages are installed or updated.
• If BlockTheSpot is ever reset, blockthespot can be run to reapply it. This usually happens after running Spicetify commands, and running spicetify-apply rather than spicetify apply ensures that BlockTheSpot is enabled if it is installed.
• Removes ad placeholder and the upgrade button

• See here to modify the configuration. autoVolume.js can be found at ~\.spicetify\Extensions\autoVolume.js.

• Experimental features, fast user switching and all default extensions apart from Auto Skip Videos and all default apps are enabled by default. Note: Default apps in the sidebar can be toggled to be hidden from the 'sidebar config' menu in compatible themes or by removing the apps from config-xpui.ini
• spicetify-apply is should be run instead of spicetify apply if BlockTheSpot is installed, as it ensures that BlockTheSpot is enabled if it is installed.
• It should be noted that spicetify-apply also runs spicetify restore and spicetify backup before running spicetify apply to ensure that changes are applied every time.
• For similar reasons, spicetify-enable-devtool and spicetify-disable-devtool should be run instead of spicetify enable-devtool and spicetify disable-devtool.
• The three above commands also support the -quiet switch.

• Nightly builds of the spicetify-cli repo built by my own Github Actions hosted here
• Recommended to be installed and updated with the -k flag to avoid the cached copy
• This version should be uninstalled before using the release version of spicetify
• Recommended only if the release version has bugs which were recently fixed

• This requires Spotify Premium.

• Installs spicetify/spicetify-themes

• This is the latest version of Spotify.
• Unlike Ash258's version, this version installs completely silently and to the Scoop directory.
• Spotify's built-in updater is disabled, and Scoop should be used to update it instead.
• Spotify should be installed locally and not globally.
• This cannot be installed concurrently with spotify-with-blockthespot.

• Absolutley not recommended at all. Not updated and not guaranteed to work
• This is an outdated version of Spotify (1.1.4.197.g92d52c4f) with an old version of BlockTheSpot.
• Spotify's built-in updater is disabled.
• Spotify with BlockTheSpot should be installed locally and not globally.
• Installation and uninstallation of this package require administrator privileges.
• This cannot be installed concurrently with spotify-latest.

First, the latest version of Spotify should be installed:

  scoop install spotify-latest

Note that Spotify should not be installed globally, as it stores files in user-specific directories.

Once Spotify is installed, spicetify-cli can be installed to customize the Spotify client:

  scoop install spicetify-cli

Again, spicetify-cli should be installed locally, as it also stores files in a user-specific location.

spicetify-themes can be installed for a collection of community-created themes for Spicetify. Obviously, this should also be installed locally:

  scoop install spicetify-themes

google-spicetify is also available:

  scoop install google-spicetify

I can recommend the Default theme, which can be applied by running the following:

  spicetify config current_theme Default
  spicetify-apply

To install spicetify-cli and apply a theme silently, the theme can be configured before installing spicetify-themes. When any of the Spicetify packages are installed, the current configuration is applied, and if Spotify was open previously, it is reopened.

  scoop install spicetify-cli
  spicetify config current_theme Default
  scoop install spicetify-themes

spicetify-autoVolume can be installed to automatically decrease the volume at specific intervals of time:

  scoop install spicetify-autovolume

BlockTheSpot can be installed to block advertisements:

  scoop install blockthespot

All of the above packages can be updated through Scoop.

If you don't care about reading any of this and just want a quick way to install ad-blocked Spotify with the Default theme, and developer tools, copy and paste this into PowerShell:

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser -Force
Invoke-Expression (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://get.scoop.sh')

scoop install git sudo

scoop bucket add spotify https://github.com/zwxi/Scoop-Spotify.git
scoop install spotify-latest blockthespot spicetify spicetify-themes spicetify-autovolume

spicetify config current_theme Default --quiet
spicetify-enable-devtool -quiet

Or even shorter, but with Sleek theme and Deep color config as I like it :

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser -Force; iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zwxi/Scoop-Spotify/master/basic-setup.ps1 | iex

I wrote the above script mostly for people who don't care about using Scoop and just need a foolproof way to set everything up automatically.

And in the future, if you want to update any installed packages:

  scoop update *
