1. Details

• With this software, you are able to build a playlist, in which the song titles represent the text you entered.

• Here is an example:

  • The text "I love developing" will result in the following playlist:

  • Songtitle	Spotify ID
    I Love	spotify:track:30z4LVkScpeNhwHFIB8Ewa
    Developing	spotify:track:50Xu1K7QVR3RG5bXDPYmEp

• This does not work for every text, since not every combination of words has a song that can represent it, but many of them do work

2. How to generate your own playlist

2.1 Cloud Execution

• Instead of installing this software locally on your computer, you are able to execute it in the cloud.

• After opening the page, click run and wait until are asked for the text you want to transform into a playlist.

• If your text can be converted to a playlist, you get a list of ID's which you can paste into a spotify playlist.

• If it does not work, just enter a new text.

2.2 Local Installation

2.2.1 Installation

First, you need to clone or download this repository, open the folder and execute this command:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

2.2.2 Usage

First, you need to import the module

import spotify_text

Then, you have to create a SpotifyText object. To do that, you need to replace the client id and secret from spotify with your own ones.

st = SpotifyText("<spotify_client_id>",
                 "<spotify_client_secret>",
                 verbose=True
)

If you want to generate the playlist, type:

st.generate_playlist("I love developing!", max_title_length=10)

# This will return a list if the playlist is generated successfully, else False
