Created by Neha Deshpande on 2/4/2022

Instructions for use:

1. Download your Spotify data here: https://support.spotify.com/us/article/data-rights-and-privacy-settings/
2. Download SortSongs.py and move it into the folder \my_spotify_data\MyData\
3. Run the following command from a terminal:

python SortSongs.py

Three new files will be created: SortedSongs.txt, SortedArtists.txt, and SortedLikedSongs.txt.

SortedSongs.txt will be in the following format, with each line being a different song.

Number of times played  --  Song Name  --  Artist Name

SortedArtists.txt will be in the following format, with each line being a different artist.

Number of times played  --  Artist Name

SortedLikedSongs.txt displays the number of times each of the liked songs are played. It will be in the following format, with each line being a different artist.

Number of times played  --  Song Name  --  Artist Name

Graphing:

To graph your top songs and artists, run the following. [Number] is how many you want to graph. The default is 5:

python SortSongs.py -graph [Number]

This will result in two graphs being saved to the same folder as above. 'SortedSongs.png' displays your top [Number] songs and 'SortedArtists.png' displays your top [Number] artists. Examples of these are shown below. Note, matplotlib is required for graphing.
