SpotToPhones

Goal:

A program that will connect to Spotify and read tracks in a playlist of your choice. The program will then connect to your Headphones server and see if you already have that artist and album. If not, will download album and remove track from Spotify playlist. If it cannot, it will place the track on a playlist you designate.

Status: OBSOLETE

• Broken due to closure of Echonest API link
• No easy way to map Spotify IDs to Musicbrainz IDs.

Open to any suggestions. First real GitHub project for me. Forgive the sloppy code, still learning.

Thanks for reading!
