In PS4 Scene news this weekend developer hdhdhfhfirjf shared an eSpotify Python script on Github to control Spotify functions including Pause, Next Song and Volume using a PS4 DualShock 4 Controller so you no longer have to tab out while gaming to perform them. 
Download: eSpotify-main.zip / GIT / Spotify (Official Site)
Here's further details from the README.md: eSpotify
Control Spotify with game controller (PlayStation / Xbox)
This will allow you control Spotify functions like pause, next song, volume with PS4 (possibly Xbox?) controller so you no longer have to take your hands off the controller for keyboard binds or tab out.
