This action suite is intended to be used to create Spotify playlists directly from loaded audio files.
Prior to using any of these actions you must create an application on Spotify, know your Spotify username and run the following action: Spotify Playlists: Activation Configuration. Information on this process can be found at: Getting Started.
The track matching algorithm is configurable. Before running any playlist creation action, you should run the Spotify Playlists: Search Configuration action. Information on this action can be found via the action's help button or here.
Along with the two configuration actions, the following actions are supplied:
This action creates a new empty Spotify playlist (public or private). Note that Spotify allows duplicate playlist names. You can optionally provide a description for the playlist. Please Note: While the Spotify API supports the creation of Private playlists, it doesn't seem to work. As hope springs eternal, the action still supports it.
This action attempts to add all selected tracks to a selected playlist. Note that Spotify allows tracks to be in a playlist more than once. If duplicates are detected, you are given the option of skipping the duplicates.
Effectively this is a call to Spotify Playlists: Create New Playlist followed by a call to Spotify Playlists: Add Selected Tracks to Playlist.
This action removes all tracks from a selected playlist. Note that playlists cannot be deleted via the Spotify API.
This action examines those selected tracks which were previously matched via a call to Spotify Playlists: Add Selected Tracks to Playlist or Create Playlist with Selected Tracks. Note that when a track is removed from a Spotify playlist, all duplicates are removed as well.
This action removes duplicate tracks from a Spotify playlist. This is accomplished by reading a list of all tracks in the playlist; deleting all tracks in the playlist; then adding back the unique tracks.
When tracks are searched, metadata is retained. This action will remove all metadata generated by these actions.
This action displays a database window containing all of your Spotify playlists.
This action can only be run from the database displayed by the Spotify Playlists: Display Playlist List action. From the database's context menu select:
Run Action>Spotify Playlists: Display Playlist Contents
The action will display another database describing the tracks contained in the selected playlist.
After a successful search for a track, a SPOTIFY_TRACK_URL User Defined URL is created (UD URLs editing panel). When these actions are installed, a main window filter named Has Spotify_TRACK_URL is installed. You can use this filter to identify which tracks are or are not matched.
