Deutschlandfunk Nova Playlist Syncer

This project creates and syncs a playlist containing the last ~150 tracks from the Deutschlandfunk Nova Playlist Site.

But ... why?

I like Deezer's and Tidal's curated playlists, but I found myself to be very happy with the curated music played on the Deutschlandfunk Nova radio station. To enjoy this on the go, I created this simple script in my spare time.

Getting started

Prepare the .env file

The configuration will be done via the .env file. By default, there is none. To prepare the .env from the example file, simply perform the following command:

cp .env.example .env

Register a Deezer App

Go to the Deezer API Page and register a new application. You will need the manage_library and delete_library permissions. Make sure to copy the App id and App secret. For the Redirect url, use something where no web server is running on, for example I chose http://localhost:12356/callback. Then enter these values into the .env file with the text editor of your choice.

Register the Tidal App

Go to the Tidal API Page and register a new application. Make sure to copy the App id and App secret. Then enter these values into the .env file with the text editor of your choice.

Getting all the required packages

Make sure you have all required packages installed

pip install -r requirements.txt

Running

On the first run, a values.sqlite will be created, where the app will store its tokens and the playlist ids into. To perform a run, simply execute the following:

python main.py
