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! https://github.com/Shpigford/plylst

@shpigford 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!

@samuraicode Click on the little "i" info icon to the right of any track and it should be there!

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

@andrewwarner 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. :)

Glad to see PLYLST here! I mainly use it to generate playlists for running (using the BPM filter) - works like a charm!

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!

@darktowers Depends on the rule! For artists, you can use the | separator to do multiple artists! Artist Name contains Bob Dylan|Shakira|Taylor Swift

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.
