Spotify Playlist Shuffler

(A continuation of the great radu-gs/ShuffleSpotifyPlaylist)

Why?

Spotify built in shuffle sucks and it's been a hot topic for years in the Spotify forums, yet nothing acceptable have been made.

Features

• Handles playlists of unlimited size.
• Can shuffle from one playlist (source) to another (destination).
• Easily shuffle multiple playlist by passing .cfg-file as argument.
• Limit the amount of songs copied from source.
• Add a playlist as filter to remove unwanted songs in destination playlist (keeping source playlist intact).

Requirements

• A Spotify account
• Python 3.x
• Spotipy

Usage

1. Login with your Spotify account and create an app (found under dashboard) here: https://developer.spotify.com/
2. Copy "Client ID" and "Client Secret".
3. Add any URL as Redirect URL (under Edit Settings).
4. Go to https://open.spotify.com/ and click the playlist you want to shuffle (if you want to use one playlist as source and another as destination/shuffled then do this step twice).
5. Make note of the playlist ID in the URL.
6. Go to https://spotify-refresh-token-generator.netlify.app/ and get a "refresh token" (mark scopes "playlist-modify-public" and "playlist-modify-private").
7. Populate config.cfg with your data and you are GOOD TO GO! :)
