Songify Slim

If you’re playing music while streaming, as a lot of streamers do, your viewers might want to know exactly what they are listening to at all times. If you’re using Spotify, this can be tricky, but there are third-party programs out there that can help you out.

Songify Slim is a relatively simple, open-source application that extracts live song information from Spotify and saves it to a text file, which can then be processed by streaming software to show song info on your broadcast.

Assuming Spotify is up and running, this application will detect any song being played and display its details in the main window. The information shown here only serves to let you know that the program is working correctly.

The song information is saved to a simple text file automatically, which can be stored in any location on your hard drive. When the next song is played, the data will be replaced instantly.

The formatting of the extracted track info can be changed. You can choose to display the song’s title, artist and album, as well as add any other characters.

Once everything has been set up, you can go to your streaming application and have it show the text saved in the TXT file on your stream in whichever fashion you prefer.

Naturally, Songify Slim isn’t exactly a complex piece of software, but it could prove to be just what many streamers are looking for. However, we would like to be able to minimize the application to the system tray.

The user interface is easy enough to work with, and you can customize its appearance by switching to the dark color theme or changing the accent color.

Songify Slim is a simple but useful program for streamers who use Spotify to play their music. It enables you to extract song information that can then be shown on your stream, and it is very easy to use.
