Music Playlist creator by Genres

Python Script to filter offline music as per genre and create playlist

Outline

  1. It's a script that sorts the music files as per the genres given to it and make a playlist out of it, which can readily be opened with VLC, Poweramp, etc. offline music players in PC or Phones.

Problem

  1. I still love the days and the feel of owning the music than subscribing to Youtube music, spotify music, etc. where availibility of any song is at mercy of the Service.
  2. There is no filtering mechanism available in these online services. I can't filter songs which are Romantic+Sad+Retro.
