Randofy: Spice Up Your Music Life 🎲 🎵

Randofy is a fun little Python script designed to broaden your musical horizons by playing a random song from the Spotify catalog. It's your personal DJ who always surprises you with something new! 🎧✨

How It Works

1. Logins to Spotify: Uses your dev credentials to log in (you can get them here)
2. Picks a Random Song: Selects a random music category, then a random playlist within that category, and finally a random song from that playlist.
3. Plays It: Finds your active Spotify device and starts playing the selected song. 🎶

Setup

1. Install Required Libraries:

   pip install spotipy python-dotenv

2. Set Up .env File: Edit the .env file and insert your Spotify credentials:

   SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID=your_spotify_client_id
   SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET=your_spotify_client_secret
   SPOTIPY_REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:8888/callback
   SPOTIPY_USERNAME=your_spotify_username

Usage

1. Run the Script:

   python randofy.py

2. Have Fun! ✨

Customization

Categories: Upon initial run you will get categories.txt in the script's folder - you can remove categories you don't want.

Why Use Randofy?

• Broaden Your Horizons: Discover new music you might never have found otherwise! 🌍🎵
• Fun and Surprising: Never know what you'll get next, it can be fun! 🎉

Optional: Desktop Icons

You may use the included png or ico images if you wish to make a destop shortcut for the script.

Note: given the way it works, only songs added to playlists will be picked, so it's less likely to encounter non-popular tracks.
