Rust Spotify Playlist Maker

Rust Program Documentation

This Rust program automates playlist creation on Spotify using the rspotify library. It authenticates users, searches for songs, and creates a playlist with predefined tracks. Edit the playlist name and song selection choices inside the code at line 66 and 71 of spotify_playlist_maker/src/main.rs.

• Automated playlist creation
• Song search and addition
• Uses tiny_http to handle the authentication callback automatically
