Last month I released the Set Listener –  a web app that lets you create a Spotify playlist for an artist’s most recent show.   A frequent request by users has been to allow the creation of a Spotify playlist for any show, not just the most recent one. However, I didn’t want to have to implement an elaborate event search and browse feature (this was supposed to be a quick hack) especially since SetList.fm already implements this browsing. So instead I did a bit of hack to implement this feature – in addition to accepting an artist name, the Set Listener will accept the url of any setlist.fm show. If you enter a setlist.fm show URL, the Set Listener will grab the songs for that show and generate the playlist. Here’s the flow:

Go to setlist.fm and browse until you find your show of interest. Grab the URL

Paste the URL into the Set Listener and you should be good to go:
