Note:
If the description seems too generic, we're still defining the features :)
Trust me - it's going to be awesome
You can just sign-up here for free and enjoy its benefits. It's free and it will always be the latest stable version.
You can always run it on your box, but if I host it for you, you don't have to create a SpotifyApp and keep your computer on checking your account to do its magic
At the moment this is a CLI interface, it will launch a bot that does magic with your Spotify account.
If you install it via pip - you'll get a spotlike
command.
The first feature: creating a playlist with all your liked songs (and keep it in sync) so you can share it with others.
spotlike sync
The fist time you'll lunch it it will open a browser kindly asking for permissions to access your Spotify account, and you're set. Like for the other commands, you can check the options with
spotlike sync --help
You can change the playlist with the likes name and choose between a full but slow sync (default) - or a fast one that just check for recent additions.
It happend to all of us: you REALLY love that song - so if you see it without the heart, you can't resist. In Spotify however the same song in different albums has different ids, and so you end up with duplicates your carefully crafted list of likes.
Spotlike is here to help you, it will remove all the duplicate likes (it checks for songs with same title and same duration, as the list of artists may differ).
It will keep the latest one of your likes... cause you want to show the world you like it since you were young!

If you find yourself doing repetitive chores in Spotify, or you have an idea that will save the humanity tons of hours so we can all move to a beach sipping Mojitos, write me [in the suggestion box](mailto://dariosky+spotlike@gmail.com?subject=I have this great idea for Spotlike)!
Here a few things I'll be working on (in this order):
- Automatically like (or add to a playlist) the songs you're listening-to the most
- Create a Telegram bot and ask for user account - to get notified whenever a song is added to one of your collaborative playlists
- More social features? What about a thread of comments with your friends around a track you like. I'd like to have messaging in Spotify.
Done (see the changelog)
- Warn whenever you like two songs with the same name and duration (it happens often to me: I like a song in the original album, and again in a collection)
- Multi-user support - the webserver joins various users sequentially
- Add a web-interface to this bot
