Local Music to Spotify Playlist Creator

Overview

Local Music to Spotify Playlist Creator is a Python application that allows users to convert their offline music collections into Spotify playlists. By scanning local MP3 files for metadata (title and artist), this tool searches for the corresponding songs on Spotify and adds them to a user-defined playlist.

Features

• Extracts song title and artist information from local MP3 files.
• Searches for songs on Spotify using the Spotify API.
• Creates a new playlist or updates an existing playlist on Spotify.
• User-friendly output indicating the status of each song added.

Prerequisites

To run this application, you'll need:

• Python 3.x installed on your system.
• A Spotify account (free or premium).
• An application registered on the Spotify Developer Dashboard to obtain your API credentials.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/local-music-to-spotify-playlist-creator.git
