Hello,
i would love to play a random song from my liked song with a command on CLI.

maybe the function is already here but i can't find it in the documentation and in the "--help"output from cli "spt play"

as i understood, "liked songs" is not a "playlist" and have his own status
one solution is to create manually a playlist with all played songs but it's lame and you have to update it every time and so

another is to get the liked songs URI, but can't found it.

You could probably parse the output of spt list --liked to get the urls of your liked songs and pipe a random one to spt play --url, but this is way too complicated so I would love this feature to get impemented as well.

From the TUI we can navigate and select Library > Liked Songs but this feature is missing from the CLI options.

Something like spt play --liked would be very handy.
