Multi-Tool for Spotify

Report a Bug Β· Request a Feature Β· Ask a Question

version: 2.0.2 Minimum PHP Version: 8.2 PHP-FIG license: MIT Total Downloads

A handy command-line application for archiving playlists, searching your library for tracks, or creating playlists with complete artist catalogs.

Initially, it was an automatic (CronJob) playlist archiving tool for "New Music Friday" playlists from popular EDM labels. It allowed me to compensate for FOMO when I didn't have time to discover new music right away.

Over time, I developed the desire to rewrite the otherwise lifelong beta (never touch a running system) and sprinkle some structured overhead on top ;-)

Usage

Playlist Archiving

php bin/console mtfsp:archive [--mail] <playlistIDsOrCSV>

Each playlist has a snapshot ID that is written to the description of the archived playlist to check whether the playlist has already been archived.

A new archive playlist is only created if the content (so the snapshot ID) has been changed.

Example of the name of an generated archive playlist: SFY-2024-06-Top 50 Global (PREFIX-YYYY-WW-SUFFIX or PLAYLIST_NAME)

You can choose between single playlist IDs or a path to a CSV file as an argument:

Argument playlist ID:

Single or comma-separated spotify playlist ID(s).

Argument CSV file path:

CSV header Description Required
Playlist_Name_Prefix Custom abbreviation e.g. SFY for spotify playlists. Uses ARCHIVE when not set. No
Playlist_Name_Suffix Custom playlist name. Uses the playlist name when not set. No
Playlist_Sort_Order desc => recent added tracks at top, asc => oldest added tracks at top. Uses playlist default oder when not set. No
Playlist_Id The ID of the spotify playlist. Yes
Tags For personal use. No

The CSV must be separated by semicolons. Example: playlists-to-archive.dist.csv

Option for mailing:

If you set the mail env vars in your .env file, you can use --mail to receive notifications when the archiving process is complete.

This is particularly useful when using a CronJob.


List Archived Playlists

php bin/console mtfsp:archive:list-playlists

Delete Archived Playlists

php bin/console mtfsp:archive:delete-playlists

Currently all archived playlists will be deleted. But multiple "are you sure" checks will protect you from hasty mistakes ;-)


Create Artist Catalog Playlist

php bin/console mtfsp:artist:catalog-to-playlist <artistId> [<playlistId>]

If you specify a playlist ID, the catalog will be added to this playlist, otherwise a new playlist will be created.


Search Library Playlists for a Given Track

php bin/console mtfsp:search:track-in-library [--withArchived] <trackIdNeedle>

Set --withArchived if you want to include archived playlists in the search.

πŸ”¨ Development

Tech Stack

The project is built using the Symfony Console component.

β˜‘οΈ TODOs

✨ Future Features

  • Archiving: retrieve source playlists from dedicated Spotify playlist folder.
  • MyWeeklySelection: command that creates a public profile playlist with the last 30 liked songs with custom playlist image.
  • Archiving: add Spotify agnostic storage, see feature/add-database.
  • Everything that comes to my mind while I'm showering ;-)
