This project is designed to retrieve all genres from a user's saved tracks on Spotify and map them to broader, general genres. It then counts the number of tracks in each general genre and displays the results.
-
Retrieves Saved Tracks: The code connects to the Spotify API and fetches the user's saved tracks in batches of 50.
-
Maps Specific Genres to General Genres: Using a predefined mapping, the code categorizes specific Spotify genres into broader general genres (e.g., "dance pop" becomes "Pop").
-
Counts Tracks by Genre: The code counts the number of tracks in each general genre and outputs these counts.
-
Environment Setup: The script requires Spotify API credentials to authenticate and fetch data from the user's library.
-
Python: Make sure Python is installed on your system. You can download it from Python's official website.
