Yeah, this code doesn’t really do what you want. This is probably closer: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Linux-Windows-Web-Player/Commands-to-play-songs-and-playlists-from-terminal/td-p/802287

Writing a shell (or python) script that selected one at random isn’t too difficult if you have some experience with programming.

This code seems to force stop Spotify after a period of time, however, I need it to be the opposite. Any advice?
