# Spotify

> Connect Request+ to Spotify using the Spicetify extension.

Request+ integrates with the official Spotify desktop client through a [Spicetify](https://spicetify.app) extension that exposes a local WebSocket bridge to the Request+ app.

<Info>
  You need the **desktop** Spotify client. Web Player and mobile are not supported.
</Info>

## Setup

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install Spicetify">
    Follow the official [Spicetify installation guide](https://spicetify.app/docs/getting-started) for your OS.

    Verify it works:

    ```bash theme={null}
    spicetify -v
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Install the Request+ extension">
    In the **Spotify** client, open the Marketplace tab. It should look like a shopping cart icon.\\

    </Frame>

    In the marketplace, search for "**Request+**", you should see the following entry.

  <Step title="Restart Spotify">
    Spicetify should prompt you to reload for the extension, go ahead and do that, it's needed to load the code!
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify the connection">
    Back in Request+, the **Spotify** current track object should populate the now playing screen, as seen below!
