It seems that every search query is made with the album search category.

I think it would be nice if we can choose this or those category's are just enabled when I say it to the skill.
-> play firworks album on spotify -> api-url....fireworks&cat=album
-> play firworks on spotify -> api-url....fireworks&cat=none_or_top_results

Is this possible?

My config is:
-Raspberry pi 4 - with 4GB
-Respeaker Mic Array v2.0 https://www.seeedstudio.com/ReSpeaker-Mic-Array-v2-0.html
-Picroft Unstable 2019-11-01 Buster image
-Mycroft-Core 19.8.3

So it's a bit like that,

The "play the album X" will only search albums.

The "play X" currently works it's way through a bunch of specifics queries ordered:

  • As a user playlist
  • As an album
  • As a track
  • As a public playlist

This is due to historically the spotify genric search has generally done a poor job of it. I could check it again if it's improved lately.
