This Python script creates monthly playlists on Spotify and adds the songs you saved in each specific month. It can also create playlists retroactively for previous months.

• Monthly Playlists: Automatically creates a playlist for each month and adds the songs saved in that month.
• Retroactive Playlists: Optionally create playlists for past months and add the respective songs saved during those months.
• Automatic Token Retrieval: Uses Flask to handle Spotify authentication and capture the token seamlessly.
• Reverse Order Addition: Adds tracks in reverse order to the playlist to maintain the order they were saved.

• Python 3.x
• Flask
• Spotipy
• Spotify Developer Account
