#Laspotipy

Migrates Last.fm playlists to Spotify where they can grow old!

###Note As the new last.fm beta release has messed up with Playlists API and they're eventually gone! Laspotipy does not work anymore. See XSPFy for another solution.

###Introduction Laspotipy is a utility to migrate your (or others) Last.fm playlists to your Spotify account where you can ACTUALLY play them, collaborate on them with your friends, etc.

Unlike similar tools/services Laspotipy needs no manual export of playlists, no manual uploading, no manual nothing! Plus it implements much more precise algorithm of finding Spotify tracks.

It first conncects to Last.fm API and fetches the playlists found for the specified user. No authorization is required and so you can add other user playlists to your Spotify account.

On the other hand, you need to authorize Laspotipy to access to your Spotify account in order to be able to create playlists. After processing Last.fm playlists and the tracks, you will be presented with a new page opened in your browser. You need to login to Spotify service (if not logged in) and grant the required permissions to Laspotipy. If granted, you will be redirected to a new URL (sepehr.github.io/laspotipy), copy the whole URL and paste it to Laspotipy CLI application where it waits and waits for you, the lord, to be blessed by the permissions.

OK, no more bullshit. Have fun, and listen to good music :)
