Description

So you know that Spotify Wrapped playlist that you get every year? They mix ALL the genres and artists in one playlist of your top songs. Yeah I never listen to that because I don't want to hear a Gunna track and then Elevation Worship right after. There's a time for both and it's definitely not right after each other. So I made this to get my top tracks and split them up by genre or artist.

Steps

1. Get the listening history
2. Get the spotify ids for the tracks
3. Get the genres for the tracks
4. Create playlist

Get the listening history

Using lastfm I was able to track the songs that I listen to on Spotify as Spotify doesn't provide this:

python get_track_logs.py common/config.yaml

Get the spotify ids for the tracks

Using the Spotify API I was able to search for the corresponding song ids:

python spotify_ids.py common/config.yaml

Get the genres for the tracks

Using the Spotify API again I was able to search for the corresponding genre as well:

python genres.py common/config.yaml

Create playlist

Connected to the Spotify API again to create the playlist:

python make_playlist.py common/config.yaml

Example

Setting the config to create a playlist of the top 15 hip hop songs and making sure to filter out any of those christian or gospel hip hop songs haha:

After running python make_playlist.py common/config.yaml we can see this in spotify:

Analysis of my listening history including but not restricted to:

• What do you listen to most?
• Is there a pattern for when you listen to certain types of music?
• Distribution of recency of music I listen to (ie. How much of each time period to I listen to?)
• Most skipped song?
• NLP if I'm feeling ambitious
• And more!
