Has anyone ever seen a Spotify Playlist Mixer?
To be simple, this app let's you mix multiple playlists together!
Are you a Spotify power user? I mean a major power user? I need people to help me test this application. Help me find the bugs. Suggest improvements.
Have you ever wanted to mix multiple Spotify playlists together temporarily for a music listening session? You have many playlists for specific genres, moods, or occasions. But sometimes, you want to want to combine genres or moods without having to maintain a separate playlist that manually combines the songs from multiple playlists. You really want a fine-tuned music session with a specific combination of songs from multiple playlists. Maybe, your friend arrives and you need to tweak the song selection a bit to better fit his taste. Need to adjust the music to accommodate your parents visiting? Do you need to filter out the harder music now that the kids are home?
Want to temporarily add some 90s rock with Irish music? Want to sprinkle some newer music into your existing favorite playlist? Now you can! You can simulate a radio station by focusing most songs on songs you know and love while mixing in new songs as much as you want. Want to temporarily combine some oldies with your normal listening? Maybe you want more 90s alternative for today's season. Maybe mix in some Celtic music. Combine genres for a special Road Trip. Slowly mix some Christmas music into your listening at the beginning of the season. Make virtually any mix you want.
Years back, Spotify temporarily had a feature where you could pick multiple playlists and play a mix of them. It was short lived, and they removed the useful feature.
Currently, the only way to mix playlists is to use the Desktop Application, where you can pull multiple playlists into the same folder and then "Play the folder". This feature is not available on Mobile, nor on the Spotify Web App at this point.
This Spotify Playlist Mixer allows you do do that, but so much more. You are able to have much more control over how often songs are chosen from each playlist in the mix. Increase the percentage, or fine-tune it by giving it a more granular "weight".
You can save mix configurations for re-use. You can enable/disable specific playlists in a saved mix configuration for more fine-tuned listening. You can play just one song from a playlist at your own desire. You can also mix the mixes themselves - by combining saved mixes into a new mix of the playlists from both mixes.
You can test out your mix configuration to see if a numbered selection of many songs would fit the desired mix and frequency of each playlist. You can see how often a playlist is being called from your mix.
You no longer have to manually combine playlists together and keep the same songs updated in multiple playlists, just mix smaller fine-tuned playlists. You can exceed the 10,000 song limitation of Spotify playlists, by combining multiple in a mix.
Spotify has also placed limitations on creating and using personally developed applications like this. This application has measures in place to allow as many people who want to use it as desire with some additional steps to set it up with your account.
