Spotify Liked Artists Playlist Creator

This Python script creates a new Spotify playlist with the top 5 songs of each artist in your liked songs that match a given list of artist names.

Prerequisites

Before running the script, make sure you have:

• Python 3.x installed

• A Spotify account

• Created a Spotify app and obtained a client ID and secret. See here for instructions.

• Set environment variables SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID, SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET, and SPOTIPY_REDIRECT_URI with your app's values. For example, you can add the following lines to your .bashrc or .bash_profile file (replace YOUR_CLIENT_ID and YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET with your app's values):

  export SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID='YOUR_CLIENT_ID'
  export SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET='YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET'
  export SPOTIPY_REDIRECT_URI='https://example.com/callback/'

Usage

1. Clone or download this repository to your local machine.
2. Install the required packages by running pip install -r requirements.txt.
3. Run the script by running python festival.py.
4. Enter your Spotify username and a list of comma-separated artist names when prompted.
5. Enter a name for your new playlist when prompted.
6. The script will create a new playlist with the top 3 songs of each artist in your liked songs that match the given artist names.

Note: The script saves your liked songs in a file called liked_songs.json in the same directory as the script. If you run the script again, it will load your liked songs from this file instead of fetching them from Spotify again.
