A command-line interface tool to manage playlists across music streaming services.

Contributing

unitunes is in alpha. Contributions are very welcome. I am looking for collaborators to grow unitunes into a foundation for user controlled music software.

Take a look at the open issues!

Development Setup

1. Fork and clone the repository.
2. Install poetry.
3. In the root directory, run poetry shell.
4. Run poetry install.
5. unitunes should now be runnable.

Testing

Run pytest to run tests. With no arguments, it will skip tests that require service configs.

Add a service config to run more tests.

pytest --spotify spotify_config.json --ytm ytm_config.json # may need to run with -s to paste spotify redirect URL the first time
