Spotify Playlist Import is gonna change (for bad)

[vicrodh]

Well, last week I received an email from Spotify saying that they are going to change their API access policy, so in order to continue using it, each user will need to have an active premium account.

Our playlist importer works precisely through the Spotify API. Without it, it is not very easy to take all the tracks from a playlist on this platform; there are methods, but they are too slow.

I'm going to implement one of these as a fallback, but sadly it won't work as well as before. I just wanted to let you know.

I could just pay for a Spotify subscription, but it's not a company I want to give a single penny to, so no way. I just wanted to let you know.
