- Stop Spotify from opening on Mac startup using the app’s settings. Before starting to prepare a step-by-step guide explaining how to stop Spotify from opening automatically on a desktop device, we have made a deep research on the Spotify Help page and found nothing about this question.
- Last updated: April 12, 2019. Music programs like iTunes and Spotify are popular options for managing and listening to music on your computer. But, like many programs that you install in Windows 7, Spotify will attempt to configure itself to start automatically whenever you log into your Windows account.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If you have the Spotify Desktop App on your PC you can get the URI to use with the Browse URL
action right away:Basically, you can skip to step 3! Just add
This works for playlists, but also for Albums and possibly other types of URIs!
- Create a new task called Play Spotify Playlist From Share
- Add a variable set action where you set %par1 to a playlist link you get from the Android Spotify app when you go into a playlist > Menu > Share > Copy Link
- Add an If condition to that action, making it only set if %par1 is not already set
- Add an AutoTools Regex action
- Set the Text field to %par1 (which contains the Spotify URL)
- Set the Regex field to /user/(?<userid>.+?)/playlist/(?<playlistid>.+?)?
- Accept and go back to Tasker
- Add a Browse URL action
- Use the following URL: spotify:user:%userid:playlist:%playlistid:play
- Make sure to add the play at the end there, so that the playlist starts playing and doesn't just open
- To call this from another Task simply use the Perform Task action and set Parameter 1 to the Spotify URL you got from the app
It seems that Spotify doesn't start playing automatically if the screen is off, so if you want to ensure that it does, use the Turn On action at the start of the task
If you want to send the playlist remotely like in the demo video you could use a profile to receive a share and send the link to another device with Join. Click here to import a profile like that. Make sure to edit the condition with an AutoShare command you want, and edit the task to send the command to the device you want.
Although I love and adore music, I tend to get distracted when one of my favorite music streaming apps Spotify automatically opens up on startup in Mac. Here, selecting the right playlist becomes more important than my office tasks. Does that happen to you as well? Then you need to stop Spotify from opening on Mac startup.
How to Stop Spotify From Opening Automatically on Mac Startup
Quite like the feature of upgrading to Spotify premium, the app does not keep the said setting handy. It was after some poking around that I found the setting. In doing so, I found a setting perfectly suited to my case.
Spotify Launches At Startup
As I mentioned, I love music and tend to get distracted when Spotify pops up. So, instead of preventing Spotify from opening on startup, I can choose it to start and minimize on my Dock. This way, the app remains always approachable, without distracting.
Step #1. Open the Spotify app on your Mac.
Step #2.Log in to the app (skip the step if already logged in).
Step #3. Select Spotify from the top menu (next to Apple logo on Mac) and click on Preferences.
Spotify Mac App Autostart Deaktivieren
Step #4. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and select Show Advanced Settings.
Step #5. Now, scroll up to Startup and Window Behavior setting.
Step #6. From the drop down menu in front of Open Spotify automatically after you log into the computer, select
- No to stop Spotify from opening on mac startup
- Minimize to keep Spotify minimized during startup
In case, this method does not work for you, there’s another method you can try.
Change System Settings to Prevent Spotify from Opening on Mac Startup
So basically, your system keeps the log of apps that automatically open during the startup. This log might be pushing your Spotify app to open during every boot. All you need to do is remove Spotify from the list.
Step #1. Tap on Apple () icon and select System Preferences from the menu.
Step #2. Select Users & Groups.
Step #3. Here, switch to Login Items tab from the top bar.
Step #4. Select Spotify and click on Minus(-) from the bottom of the page.
You can also check the hide option; this will hide the application when you turn on your computer.
That’s all folks!!
In the world of music streaming, Spotify stands tall amongst its competitors. However, it is some small user-interface related issues that holds the app back. While no setting is difficult, finding and reaching that particular setting is a laborius process. For instance, you can only upgrade or delete your spotify account permanently via web.
While I wish Spotify takes heed of such issue and simplify these task.
