Spotify is annoying. As a free user, I am not in a position to complain - I am however in a position to do something about it, hence I created this.
Syncify allows you to configure a set of Playlists and it will create and maintain an offline Mirror of those Playlists.
- Downloads directly from Spotify, what you see is what you get
- Basic ID3 tags are applied to the downloaded songs where available
- Album Art can be downloaded / embedded if desired
- Songs added and removed to the Playlist are detected and handled accordingly
- Songs going unavailable are exempt from this and will stay downloaded
- Autosync ✨(Optional)
- By default whenever you run Syncify it will try to update your local Playlists state to reflect the online ones. If you'd rather want to run it in the background and have it automagically apply changes made to the Playlists in realtime, you can set
enableAutoSyncto true in the config - Autosync only works for Playlists that are in your library, so if you want autosync to work for Playlists created by others you have to add them to your library.

Syncify needs to be signed into Spotify to work, to accomplish this you supply your sp_dc Cookie. I might add a guide how to get that at some point

- A lot of Error handling / retry logic is missing
- Why the fuck are you limited in how many songs you can skip per hour as a free user on mobile???
- Why will playback occasionally just die and not recover until manual intervention???
- Why does Spotify go down for 15 minutes every other Week???
- Why do I have to repeadetly waste Bandwidth and/or Mobile Data to access static content???
- Why do I get the same 3 Ads in a loop???
