PLYLST - Smart playlists for Spotify

by•
Create smart playlists for your Spotify library! Stop relying on fancy pants algorithms to organize your library and instead build up playlists the way you want them.

I have been a longtime iTunes user and, despite its shortcomings, the ability to build complex, dynamic playlists has yet to be matched by the other streaming services. I desperately wanted that ability in Spotify, so PLYLST is my attempt at building the thing I think it's missing most: that ability to put together dynamic playlists based on many different attributes. Spotify has a wealth of what they call "audio features" (danceability, valence, tempo, mode, energy, etc) and turns out those are pretty amazing tools for organize your library as well as discovering new music! There are over a dozen attributes that you can organize your Spotify library with. Oh, and it's open-source!
This is great. If it could show the BPM of the songs in my playlist then I could figure out a good cutoff value for the next iteration of the list!

Click on the little "i" info icon to the right of any track and it should be there!
Booyah! Thank you!
not product related at all but is this the info for Counterparts lol
I switched from Apple Music recently because Siri finally supports it. Apps like this give Spotify superpowers I didn’t know could exist when I was on Apple
Maker
Exactly! Apple Music really had some pretty powerful features for curating your music. Spotify has lagged behind for years...so, figured it was time to just do it myself. :)
Did you get a product hunt hug of death :D It did look interesting! I do get fed up of the same old music from spotify.
Maker
It's a tight squeeze at the moment. Just shy of death. 🙃
curious, where's it hosted? what's the bottleneck?
Maker
Render.com...not having any issues at the moment. :)
Glad to see PLYLST here! I mainly use it to generate playlists for running (using the BPM filter) - works like a charm!
Maker
Great to hear, Martin!
Great job, thank you so much for creating this! Is there any reason why you can only use the variables once? e.g. One Artist Name rule instead of multiple Artist Name rules? Is it a shortcoming of the Spotify API or just something that you can control in your app? Would be great to be able to use those variables multiple times if possible. Look forward to future updates!
Maker
Depends on the rule! For artists, you can use the | separator to do multiple artists! Artist Name contains Bob Dylan|Shakira|Taylor Swift
Great tip, thank you so much for the fast response!
nice!
Maker
Thanks Yunus! 🙌
Are you saying I don't have to press "I don't like this song" on almost every song in my Discover Weekly Spotify Playlist anymore?! HUGE! Congrats.
Maker
Haha, I can relate to this feel all too well.
Very cool! Didn't know Spotify had so much information on each track, really interesting!
Maker
It's pretty amazing!
this is an awesome idea
Maker
Thanks Jack! 🙌
Great idea. Do you allow artists to pay for consideration spots in the playlists when it's applicable?
Maker
Thanks Steven! And that's a great idea. There's no commercial aspect to this yet (still waiting on approval from Spotify for my commercial license).
Great to hear. It sounds like you can monetize it the same way that Quuu has monetized their platform. Best of luck
