Simple Go app built with Gin to blend random choices from two Spotify playlists into one that matches a provided pattern.
cp .env_example .env & update .env w/ playlist IDs (available from the playlists' URLs), go build; go run main.go
Inputs:
-
Playlist 1: "Running music"
-
Playlist 2: "Podcast episodes"
-
# of pocast episodes: 3
-
# of songs between each episode: 4
Output:
- playlist of
{song, song, song, song, episode} x 3
Example output:
I'm a slow runner and some of my longer training runs can pass the 2hr mark. I like listening to podcasts to pass the time, but prefer to keep a couple songs in the queue to introduce a "tempo" aspect to my pacing. Long story short, I hated to manually add songs to my Spotify queue so I could get "random" songs with podcasts sprinkled in and wanted to play around with Go, so I wrote this script.
- tests!
- frontend
- clearer error messages
- determine how to handle user OAuth tokens:
- persist the active & refresh token + write middleware to check if valid?
- make the Login/OAuthCallback handler's logic into middleware since users are only prompted to approve the scopes once anyways?
