Thanks Paul, it’s a great script, and I love it, but when you’re on a Last.fm page, you still have to click on each track to load them into Spotify…
(and then queue the track, or add it to a playlist)

Sounds great!

Just remember that Jotify isn’t an official library from Spotify. But as far as I have understood it, they usualy don’t bother to care if you use that instead of libspotify.

Hi Bobcat – I’ve been playing with the Java version (jotify) this weekend. Works great. I think I’ll work on making real spotify playists of the billboard 200 real soon.

Well, they actually do if your’e on Linux. Then there is libspotify that allows you (among other things) to create playlists. It requires you to know C though. If that would fit your environment and you think you would need a bit of help, throw me an e-mail.

Norz: Sounds like you need this Greasemonkey mentioned in this post on the spotify blog:

Indeed, being able to automatically create a Spotify playlist would be much more convenient.

I’d like to be able to convert lists of tracks on last.fm (from a tag, from my playlists, etc) to a Spotify playlist, without having to click on each track manually.
Please Spotify team? :)

Rebecca: Unfortunately, Spotify doesn’t provide a programmer API for creating playlists, so any playlists have to be created by hand.

I wish this was a link to a Spotify playlist that was the current Billboard 200 or any of the other charts, it would be much easier for me to listen to the charts instead of clicking on each individual link. Someone did this with the UK Official Charts listing every number 1 since the beginning, which I find useful that’s here http://open.spotify.com/user/sjhunt/playlist/5q5IHvVcnBYP1Dr1nIwBPN. Is there a possibility of developing something like this as well?
