uSnype

If you are playing music using Spotify while streaming, you may wish to let your viewers know which songs they are listening to. If you don’t want to keep the Spotify window on your screen at all times, you might need a third-party application that can extract song info automatically.

uSnype is an open-source program that grabs song information from Spotify and saves it to a text file in real-time. You can then use other software to process the output and display it on your stream.

Once you’ve launched the application, it will automatically detect any song being played in Spotify, extract its title, artist and album information and export it to a text file.

No installation is required, as you can just launch the executable file from any location. The default output location can also be changed at any time.

When a new song is played, the program automatically saves its information to a text file, and the live output format can be customized, as well as the message displayed when nothing is being played.

In order to integrate this information into your stream, you will need to open the file containing the program’s output with other software that can display it on your screen or process it in some other way.

The user interface features a simple, intuitive design, and an alternative darker color theme is available. What’s more, you can change the accent color if you wish.

It would have been great if it were possible to minimize the application to the system tray, as many users prefer to reduce taskbar clutter as much as possible.

Overall, uSnype is a pretty straightforward utility that doesn’t offer a lot of features but can still prove useful. If you’re looking for a simple way to extract live Spotify song info for various purposes, you can definitely try it out.
