## What

Show the currently playing song in the [Spotify][spotify] macOS/Windows clients.

:::caution
Be aware this can make the prompt a tad bit slower as it needs to get a response from the Spotify player.

On _macOS_, all states are supported (playing/paused/stopped).

On _Windows/WSL_, **only the playing state is supported** (no information when paused/stopped). It supports
fetching information from the native Spotify application and Edge PWA.
