spotify-legacy-liked-songs-cleaner

Version 0.1

Clean up your liked songs playlist, back from the days where liking an album added all its songs to your liked songs... Was it back in 2015 :D? Anyway, this script is here to help.

Main Features:

  • Scans through your liked songs playlist. If a whole album is in there, this script will remove those songs.
  • Deleted songs will be savely moved to a new, dedicated Spotify playlist in your Spotify account so nothing is lost.
  • Deleted song ids will be logged to a dedicated logfile.
  • Also, fancy progress bars based on tqdm :)

Tech

spotify-legacy-liked-songs-cleaner uses open source libs and open data to work properly:

  • Spotify Web API - Spotify's Web API <3
  • Spotipy - A light weight Python library for the Spotify Web API
  • tqdm - A Fast, Extensible Progress Bar for Python and CLI

Installation

  1. Clone this repo
  2. Goto https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/, sign in using your Spotify account and create a new app and note down client id and client secret
  3. Install the requirements for this script
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
  1. Update liked_songs_cleaner.py with client id and client secret of your app
  2. Run the script in dryrun mode
python3 liked_songs_cleaner.py
  1. If you are happy with the outcome of the deleted songs playlist, change DRYRUN to False in liked_songs_cleaner.py and rerun the script to free your liked songs from its legacy

Notes

  • When running the script for the first time, your default browser will open and you will be redirected to authorize this script to modify your playlists. Good old Oauth2 magic (:
  • Required authorization scopes of this script: user-library-read, playlist-modify-private, user-library-modify
  • For details on the scopes, hit up https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/general/guides/scopes/

Have fun and use with care, its your precious liked songs you are dealing with.
