make Song Radio fun again!

Ever find yourself in a musical Groundhog Day?

Spotify

heavily personalizes<br>auto-generated playlists like Song Radio based on the music you've<br>listened to in the past. But sometimes you want to listen to Song<br>Radio precisely to hear some fresh songs outside of your<br>habitual listening realm!

Spoqify is a dead-simple service that allows you to<br>access Spotify playlists like an anonymous user. Just replace the<br>t with a q in a Spotify playlist URL and<br>you will be forwarded to an anonymized version of that playlist:

Alternatively, paste a playlist URL into this form:

Anonymize!

Not using the web player?

If you're using the native Spotify app, it can be cumbersome to<br>extract the song radio URLs from the app and to navigate to the<br>anonymized playlist after running them through Spoqify.

Spicetify<br>is a tool that allows you to customize the official Spotify client,<br>and with its

AnonymizedRadios<br>extension you can use Spoqify's anonymization without ever leaving<br>the app!

How does it work?

Very simply (this was a fun weekend project). Once you submit a<br>request, Spoqify will:

Open the playlist (on our server) without sending any session<br>cookies (similar to the Private Window feature of your<br>web browser)

Extract the Spotify IDs of all the songs contained in that<br>playlist

Use<br>Spotify's Web API to create a new playlist that contains<br>exactly the same songs

Forward you to that newly created playlist

Spoqify is<br>MIT-licensed and its<br>source code is available on GitHub.

Using Spoqify a lot?

You can help make it obsolete! Spotify's community outreach includes<br>an<br>Ideas Exchange, and requests to disable personalization pop up<br>there<br>every now and then. Using Spoqify could become unnecessary if<br>enough users signal interest in a setting to disable personalization.
