RYS: RateYourMusic to Spotify Playlist

Convert your RateYourMusic.com charts into Spotify playlists using Streamlit.

Overview

The primary goal of this repository is to simplify the process of music discovery in a highly customizable manner. With this application, users can easily convert a chart they customize on RateYourMusic.com into Spotify Playlists.

To begin, generate a chart on RateYourMusic, utilize the filters on the right side of the page, then copy the URL of that chart. Upon entering this URL into the Streamlit app, a corresponding Spotify playlist is created.

Limitations

This application is primarily designed for local execution using Streamlit due to its dependency on Selenium, which requires a browser driver (specifically, Chromedriver in this case).

Running Selenium in cloud environments can be more intricate, often involving configurations like Docker coupled with OS-specific images, such as Debian. While feasible, implementing such configurations extends beyond this repository's intent.

Configuration

To set up and run the application:

1. Install the required packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Set up an application on the Spotify Developer Dashboard.
3. Obtain SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID and SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET from the Spotify application you've created.
4. Save the SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID, SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET, and the desired redirect URL in a .env file.
5. Launch the application:

   streamlit run app.py
