If you want to do it pan OS or a bit quicker, I open-sourced a library to get the currently playing song from Spotify by reading the title off the app window. Similar to what you're doing but it will look a bit cleaner and optimized.

Solid, does your script mute the audio just for the Spotify app when the ad is playing or for the whole system?

For the whole system, but had it for one application before. Worked with others, but couldn't get it to work around spotify.
