Description

Delete files no longer in the list.txt?

I want to build a dynamic playlist folder with this and https://github.com/epsil/spotgen. Spotgen generates the playlists, then I download it with your scripts. Which is working fine. The problem is with the files are no longer in the playlist generated by spotgen. Can we somehow compare the input list with the output folder, and remove the difference? Not necceserly a future request. If you could point me to a right direction how to do this, I could do by myself with sh script (which connects the spotgen with this). I think, I need a list about the recent downloads (including the skipped files), so I can compare with the current and remove the difference.

I started this project purely in shell script, since every tool was done and I just had to merge the two. But what the heck, I know JS, python should not be that hard.

Thanks for your help, just asking these questions helped me solve almost the whole problem by myself. The Spotipy part was the trick.

Actually you could use a for loop over reading Spotify URI’s from a text file and call spotify.track on each iteration and append the “Artist - Track” value to another text file. I don’t really know how exactly you plan to do that so I won’t code it for you. You will be better off learning a bit of Python anyway. 😃
