Liked Song Sync

View this script on GitHub

The script does two things with your liked songs on spotify:

  • Adds them to a playlist that can be made public and displayed on your profile (unlike the default liked songs playlist)
  • Syncs the liked songs to your Last.fm account

Setup​

The script requires a few environment variables to be set. For this, populate the .env file with the following variables:

../.env
SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID=[your spotify client ID]
SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET=[your spotify client secret]
SPOTIFY_REDIRECT_URI=[your spotifiy redirect URI]
SPOTIFY_USER_ID=[your spotify user id]
LASTFM_API_KEY=[your last.fm API key]
LASTFM_API_SECRET=[your last.fm API secret]
LASTFM_USERNAME=[your last.fm username]
LASTFM_PASSWORD_HASH=[your last.fm password hash (use an online hasher to hash the password)]
LIKEDSONGPLAYLIST_ID=[your spotify playlist ID (create this playlist beforehand)]

For more info on how to get the client id, client secret and redirect uri visit the Spotify API Docs for creating an app

For more info on how to get the API key and API secret visit the Last.fm API Docs for applying for a key.

Usage​

Inside the repository directory run the script by executing:

python spotify_scripts/likedsongsync2.py [commandline arguments]

The script has the following commandline arguments:

  • Verbose Logging (--verbose or -v): This will print out more information about what the script is doing
  • Force Resync: (--force-all or -f): This will force the script to resync all liked songs to Last.fm, even if they have been synced before. By default the script will only sync new liked songs.
  • Skip Song Sync: (--skip-sync or -s): This will skip the syncing of a specific song.
