Automate playing Spotify playlists

Post by oberli »

I need a tool to do the following (on a PC, running Win10 Pro):

1. At a pre-defined time, Start Spotify and select a playlist
2. Start playing the playlist
3. At a given time, stop playing and exit Spotify gracefullt (not taskkill)
4. At a pre-defined time, start playing another music source (net radio etc.)

Is this something that RoboTask could do?

Yes. Look at the Scheduler trigger. It can run task at specified time.
Start playing the playlist
The playlist can be started with Run Program/Open Document action. Most players can be started with command line.
At a given time, stop playing and exit Spotify gracefullt (not taskkill)
Look at the Window Command action. If you close the main window of the player it exits.
At a pre-defined time, start playing another music source (net radio etc.)
I'm sure that it can be solved with scheduler trigger and command-line
