Blend Tracker, Personal

This project is designed to fix an issue my friendship group has around the length of a Spotify “blend” playlist. An auto-generated “Blend” playlist is 50 songs, or around 2.5 hours, containing a selection of everyone’s taste in music. We often listened to a song multiple times due to the playlist length. This project aims to auto-generate our own longer blend playlists whilst still keeping track of who each song is associated with.
