An Epic collection of playlists built over a decade, using dozens of programs and scripts to track and manage to a high standard.
If you know a great track that isn't in one of these playlists, open an issue or message me on LinkedIn to add it!
Top level playlists are in human readable format Artist - Track.
Spotify URI format playlists are under the spotify/ directory for backup/restore, analysis or copying to new playlists.

Even my followed artists are backed up to artists_followed.txt and can be restored via my spotify scripts.
Artists with 5 or more tracks in my Liked Songs are automatically followed by my spotify scripts.
These playlists are downloaded and managed by scripts in the DevOps Bash tools and Spotify tools repos which are available as submodules under the bash-tools/ and spotify-tools/ directories respectively.
Aside from Backup & Restore, keeping all playlists in both Spotify and human readable formats allows all sorts of handy tricks, eg:
grep'ing your entire playlist catalog (which you can't do in Spotify's App)- auto-removing duplicates from a given playlist (detected via URI and/or human readable name - different levels of duplicate detection)
- auto-removing tracks from todo playlists that are already in one of the core playlists so you don't have to check those tracks ever again (when combined with blacklist playlists this is a huge progressive efficiency gain)
- setting all of the tracks in your favourite playlists to
Liked Songswithout a zillion clicks in Spotify (useful to port over yourStarredtracks) - bulk-loading tracks from one or more playlists or even favourites from
Liked Songs

Pre-built Docker images are available on my DockerHub.
