I can swear I've seen documentation on how to build a command line application utilizing CocoaLibSpotify, but now I cannot find it. It's not in the CocoaLibSpotify Github repo's documentation. Where is it?

Edit: There's some info on how to use libspotify in command line applications under the section 4.2 Building command line applications at https://github.com/reddavis/Le-Code/tree/master/Cocoa%20Spotify/Mac%20Framework/libspotify-12.1.45-Darwin-universal Does this also apply to the CocoaLibSpotify framework? Are there CocoaLibSpotify-specific instructions anywhere?

There's no specific CocoaLibSpotify documentation for this. However, it's not too bad — either compile CocoaLibSpotify as a static library and link it in or import all the files in the common folder directly into your app and compile them in directly.

When writing your app, since CocoaLibSpotify maintains its own background thread, you'll need to set up a runloop to your CLI doesn't terminate until you want it to. However, that's not specific to CocoaLibSpotify and a very common task for CLI apps.
