About spotgen

spotgen is a web tool that builds Spotify playlists from text commands. Users enter directives such as #top, #similar, #album and #artist, or a list of tracks, and the tool outputs a playlist. It accepts Spotify links, Spotify URIs, M3U playlists and CSV files as input. By default, the output is a list of Spotify URIs.

To use a result in Spotify, the source describes copying the output, creating a new playlist in Spotify, and pasting the output into it. Duplicate tracks are removed by default, and the #duplicates directive allows them. M3U import only works for files that include EXTM3U metadata. Pricing is not stated in the source.
