I want to tell you about my side project Winamp to Spotify. Digital transformation affected our music listening habits. Before Spotify or any other online music library we used to have mp3 archieves in our hard drives. The aim of this side project is collecting mp3 filenames from harddisk and create Spotify Playlist based on selected folder. So you will be able to listen old songs that you cannot remember.

To use this application you need a Spotify Developer Account. To use the Web API, start by creating a Spotify user account (Premium or Free). To do that, simply sign up at https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard After creating a spotify developer account you should register an application through Dashboard.

After these 3 steps your application should be created successfully.

After creating you will have ClientID and Client Secret values. After creating app from Edit Settings tab you should set Redirection URLs.
