Create/update a Spotify playlist from a local m3u playlist

positional arguments:
  spotify_username      Spotify username where playlist should be updated.
                        Your email address should work just fine, or could
                        find your user id through e.g. the developer console
  playlist_path         full path to the playlist

optional arguments:

  --public              playlist is public, otherwise private
  --playlist-id PLAYLIST_ID
                        do not create a new playlist, instead update the
                        existing playlist with this id

Example

• Linux/MacOS

    tospotify --verbose "[e-mail]" "D:/playlist/name.m3u"
  

• Windows*

    python -m tospotify "[e-mail]" "D:/playlist/name.m3u"
  

*entry_points does not seem to simply work on Windows

Requirements

1. First need to enable Developer Dashboard and your 'app'.

   • Go to https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/login
   • Create an app
   • Get the client id and client secret from there for step 2
   • Edit settings and whitelist a redirect uri; for default use http://localhost:8888

2. Setup some environment variables:

Linux

export SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID="<paste-from-dev-dashboard>"
export SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET="<paste-from-dev-dashboard>"
export SPOTIPY_REDIRECT_URI="<your-chosen-uri>"

Windows

Same as linux but use set instead of export
