music_snapshot

Save a snapshot of your day as a Spotify playlist.

Installation

Since music_snapshot is a command line tool, the recommended installation method is via pipx:

$ pipx install music_snapshot

Of course, you can just install it directly from [PyPI] (ideally, inside a virtualenv):

$ python -m pip install music_snapshot

Quick start

Authentication

To use music_snapshot you need to authorize it with both Spotify and Last.fm.

To get Spotify client ID and secret, create an OAuth client in Spotify developer dashboard (with the "Redirect URI" set to http://localhost:6600/music_snapshot).

To get Last.fm API keys, you need create a new Last.fm API account.

After obtaining all of the above, you need to run music_snapshot authorize which will save your config data in ~/.music_snapshot and allow you to create new music snapshots with music_snapshot create subcommand.

Usage

The default subcommand is create, which helps you create a new music snapshot (Spotify playlist).

You can see all available subcommands and options by running music_snapshot --help:

$ music_snapshot --help          
                                                                                        
 Usage: music_snapshot [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

 Have you ever just let Spotify algorithm do its thing, keep going long after your      
 queue has finished and ended in a place you'd like to go back to? I'm here to help you 
 do just that.                                                                          
                                                                                        
 A 'music snapshot' is a Spotify playlist that encapsulates a part of your music        
 playing history.                                                                       
                                                                                        
 Unfortunately, because of Spotify API limitations (no accessible history of played     
 songs) the song history comes from your Last.fm account.                               
                                                                                        
 To use the app, you need to first create a new Spotify OAuth app in its developer      
 dashboard and get Last.fm API keys by creating a new API account. You can then use     
 those values in the authorize subcommand, which will also save the underlying data on  
 your disk.
