spotify-manager

A python application to manage spotify albums and tracks using the Spotify API

Code is a work-in-progress and will be published as soon as it is in a usable state

Why

Maybe it's just me, but managing my favorite albums and tracks through the Spotify application confuses (annoys) me. I was looking for a convenient way to manage my collection and I didn't want to use Excel. It was a nice project for me to improve my python skills. Plus, I was testing Github Copilot while writing the code.

Short-term goals/features and status

• Insert spotify albums and tracks by its URL to the database
• Uses the official Spotify API via spotipy
• Metadata to add: artist, album, genre, release year, uri and url
• Very basic/simple import/export function
• Build a small web UI to manage the items in the database
• Browsing and adding items in the web interface

Todos

• Dockerize it
• Better usability if the collection is getting bigger
