A command-line tool for importing your local music collection into Spotify.

Given the root directory of your music collection, Spotifyify will attempt to:

• Follow all the artists in your collection on Spotify
• Save all the albums in your collection to your Spotify library

There are two commands, designed to be run in this order:

1. build-manifest - traverse a local directory to discover your music collection and write it to a file called a manifest.
2. import - given a manifest file, import your music collection into Spotify

1. Clone this repo

2. Install Stack (brew install haskell-stack on MacOS)

3. stack build to download the dependencies and build the tool (this might take a while)

4. Go to the Spotify developer dashboard and create a new application

5. Click on "Edit settings" for your new app, and add the following redirect URI

   https://cb372.github.io/spotifyify/callback.html
   

6. Run the build-manifest command, telling it where to find your music collection

   stack run -- build-manifest ~/my-music-folder
   

   This will create a file called manifest.yml. You can open it in editor and sanity-check it if you like.

7. Passing your Spotify app's client ID and secret as environment variables, run the import command

   SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID=foo SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET=bar stack run -- import

   As part of the Spotify API authentication process, this will open a browser window. Copy the token from the browser window, paste it into stdin and press Enter.

   After you've authenticated, Spotifyify will import your music into Spotify, printing things to stdout as it goes.

   It will also log its progress to a file, with one JSON-encoded log entry per line.

When you start the import command, it reads both the manifest file and the log file (if there is one), and filters out any artists from the manifest that have already been processed.

That means you can safely kill the import process half way through. If you run it again later, it will pick up where it left off and not duplicate any work.

If the import process results in too many calls to the Spotify API, API requests will start getting rejected. The tool has support for this, and will back off appropriately as soon as it encounters a 429 response.
