Build a Spotify Playlist Analyzer
Create a dynamic app where users can input a Spotify playlist URL and analyze mood, tempo, top artists, genre distributions, and overall playlist insights — powered by Spotify API.Music apps make data fun! Building this teaches you OAuth authentication, API handling, advanced data visualization (tempo, genres, mood), and real-time analysis dashboards — critical for media and entertainment projects.
Let users analyze Spotify playlists by extracting track data, calculating top genres, identifying top artists, determining playlist mood, and visualizing audio features like energy, danceability, and tempo.
Fetch Playlist Songs and Audio Features

Visualize Playlist Stats
Show charts summarizing genres, top artists, mood distribution (happy/sad), and tempo range.
Mood and Energy Analysis
Classify playlists into categories like Chill, Party, Workout based on valence, energy, and tempo values.
Optional: Save Analyzed Playlists
Allow users to save their analysis reports or share them using a link.
