Well done! I like your design approach: artists as seeds in a controlled genre-based expanding similarity selection. It is like a recommendation system but limited to your own music library content.

Just a simple suggestion: allow for copying the result as a text list (I'm one of those who can tolerate you reading my data but not writing in it)

Some of you may be looking for more "plain" ways of recycling your library (where you more explicitly choose the final outcome) by

- (re)organizing (by genres, popularity, date added, audio features...) -> http://organizeyourmusic.playlistmachinery.com/

- (re)combining (using a good selection of modular dataflow operators) -> http://smarterplaylists.playlistmachinery.com/

Good job! I've had a number of spotify API side projects that never got this far. +1 for access to source ^_^

Thanks! First time using React so it might be a bit messy... https://github.com/andrewjkuo/playlist-recycle

thanks for the source

It would be nice if it would be possible to import your "liked" songs. I don't typically put songs I like into a specific playlist.

Agreed. Often my likes list is across multiple moods and genres so playing my likes back doesn’t flow so nicely. Being able to split them up properly would be a nice feature.

Thanks! I think the text output is a good option. Will add it to the backlog :).

Really cool! Great job, OP! Can you explain a bit further what that "simple custom algorithm" does and how it works? EDIT: A nice additional feature would be to add a filter to only show playlist that you created yourself

Thanks! I've explained the algorithm in a previous comment. If it doesn't make sense let me know.

And I like that feature idea. Will add it to the backlog!
