unitunes 0.1.1

A CLI tool to manage playlists across music streaming services.

unitunes

A command-line interface tool to manage playlists across music streaming services.

Introduction

unitunes is designed to keep playlists in sync across multiple streaming services. unitunes is a free, local, replacement for services like Soundiiz and TuneMyMusic.

unitunes defines Universal Playlists (UPs), a service agnostic representation of a playlist. UPs are the source of truth for playlists on streaming services. UPs are stored as plain text JSON, enabling them to be checked into version control systems.

The unitunes CLI tool provides a command-line interface to manage UPs. Playlists can be pushed and pulled from streaming services. unitunes automatically searches for missing tracks.

Contributing

unitunes is in alpha. Contributions are very welcome. I am looking for collaborators to grow unitunes into a foundation for user controlled music software.

Take a look at the open issues!

To develop, fork the repository and clone it into your local directory. Install poetry. Run pytest to run tests. Add a service config to run more tests.

pytest --spotify spotify_config.json --ytm ytm_config.json # may need to run with -s to paste spotify redirect URL the first time
