This is great, I popped in a song title from a band I like and found a playlist with some tracks that sound really good!

#102It's kind of mind boggling to me that Spotify doesn't offer this themselves. Seems like use case 101
You have spotify radio which is very similar.

#103I made a site to record and vote on playlists sorted by last updated as well as popularity https://playlists.mohiohio.com

#104Can someone please build an inverse recommendation system? These recommender systems are too good at giving me things similar to what I've already heard.

#105I always thought something like this for movies that contain a favorite song might reveal a hidden gem or two.

#106I use 1001 tracklists for this - you can search by track and it will surface DJ sets where the song was played.

> Thinking this a little further, it provides the perfekt basis for a dating application. Music is a very personally representation of oneself and if you find someone who has the same muscial taste, you already have a common basis for communication. I don't think a shared taste in music is that important, or at all, in a relationship but this is the premise of aptly named Tastebuds[1], a dating app based around favor…
In isolation, perhaps not, but musical taste plus another characteristic can say a lot about someone. (I might be biased because my future wife caught my attention when I overheard her say she liked a certain band in a group setting where most people hadn't heard of it.) Spotify doesn't have its claws in real-life gatherings yet, but they might have something with their music (personality) and podcasts (interests, af…
What does someone's music say about their personality?

#108Love it. This is one of the primary features that RDIO had that I miss in Spotify, because it allows for discovering songs, as in “if someone likes this song enough to add it to a song list, I wonder what else they like”. I look forward to the indexing to increase, because many of my favorites aren’t in your index yet. (And they what would it be like if you cooold enter two or more song titles?)

Openness to new things? Variety is the spice of life, how spicy are they?

#110Cool project!
I maintain an archive of Spotify playlists, scraped daily via GitHub Actions: https://github.com/mackorone/spotify-playlist-archive.
If you're willing to share, I'd love to hear about your experience with the Spotify API. What endpoints do you use? How often do you call them? How do you handle rate limiting? Has Spotify reached out regarding storing playlist data (being in violation of their terms of service)? Any other lessons or advice?
Additionally, I wonder if there's any opportunity for collaboration here. Perhaps you can use the archive to fill out your dataset? Maybe it can act as a cache for your system's scraping needs? Perhaps our Web UIs could link to each other or be combined somehow (https://spotifyplaylistarchive.com/)?
> Currently we keep track of 18378 Spotify playlists
How did you find all of these playlists? Querying Spotify for "Spotify"-owned playlists gives me less than 5000 results. I'd love to add more playlists to my archive but I don't have good discovery mechanisms, especially for non-Spotify-owned playlists.
