Playlist Manager

Automate your spotify playlists with ease

---

Features

Playlist Manager is a background service, which organizes your spotify playlists

• Always have the latest additions to a playlist at the top
• Define a limit of tracks for your playlists
• Move "old" tracks automatically to an archive playlists

Motivation

I always struggled to keep my playlists up to date altough they had quite an audience. As it seemed quite easy for me to create a background job, which does this for me, I started this as a small project on vacation.

Roadmap

Functional

• Provide Feature to Stop Watching a certain playlist
• Support Playlists without a "max item" count
  • Spotify's track limit for playlists is 10.000 items
• Retrieve Existing Configurations for that user from Backend
  • Need to Check the users identity via /me route in backend to do so

Technical

• Only run one instance of the same job at once (long running jobs etc)
• Use Code Grant + PKCE Flow to not need ClientSecret in CLI
• Write Unit Tests for shared functions
• Write loglevel plugin which logs to application insights
• Enable seamless debugging of backend
• Deployment should not clear the database

Components

• packages/cli/ is a command line interface to initially sort your playlists the way you configure it, and send the configuration to the management service
• packages/backend contains an express based API, which receives configurations for playlist management and schedules cron jobs to manage the playlists.
• packages/shared contains shared code and type definitions that are used by both the CLI and the backend.
