Music Advisor is a a personal music advisor that makes preference-based suggestions and even shares links to new releases and featured playlists. This is done by interacting via command-line with Spotify's API (Application Programming Interface).
Based on a Hyperskill project (https://hyperskill.org/projects/62), this application was developed in Java and integrates the major features offered by the API. The API itself is structured on simple REST (Representational State Transfer) principles, commonly used for communication with web services.
As to the program, it is organized in terms of the MVC (Model-View-Controller), an architectural pattern for building an application. based on its separation in thre different parts in order to achieve a greater level of scalability and maintainability.
List of command options available:
