Track or Trash now supports youtube music! Go check it out - no annoying API keys needed. This was way simpler than the damned Spotify API, luckily! Only verifying with Google was a bit of an hassle, but otherwise, it all went smoothly. Youtube does show both normal videos and music in the same Playlists, so it’s even slightly multifunctional!

I made Track or Trash! A 100% free, private Spotify playlist sorter, because I got tired of all the worthless apps that try to charge you insane amounts for it. For me, it was a huge learning curve with css & also with the Spotify API, but I'm really proud of how well it works and how it turned out!
If you want to try, view the documentation on how to get your own API keys - unfortunately, you need 25.000 users before Spotify grants you publicly available keys (why?). If you only want to give it a try for reviewing it, please send me an email ([email protected]) and I will add your Spotify account to the whitelist to use demo API credentials.

Everything is now done! The app is finished, and as far as I can tell, all bugs have been ironed out. I added a new feature to add songs to your liked songs immediately, and finished the documentation!

I finished all core functions of the website! It now works for playlists, shows songs in random order, has a saving & logout function, and a functioning UI for mobile devices. I also gave it it’s own domain! It was quite a struggle to figure out how the spotify API works for playlists (who decided it had to be entirely different?!). Next up, I’m going to work on some UI improvements, tutorials and integration of other music services. You can already try it out yourself if you know how to use the spotify API via trackortrash.me!

I finished making the sorting mechanism for the likes songs album! It took a lot of struggling with the spotify API and authentication, but I’m super glad to see it all functioning now. Next up I will work on normal playlists! :)

I’m making a website to clean up my spotify playlists! I just finished the login screens (very ugly, but being worked on) and the auth flow. My goal will be to learn HTML/CSS and expand my java knowledge in regard to API’s!
