A custom Chrome Extension built to solve a specific pain point in managing large-scale music libraries (750+ playlists).
Managing a massive music library is operationally expensive. As a curator with over 900 playlists, organizing tracks became a nightmare. I had no quick way to know if a song playing on the Web Player was already assigned to a specific playlist without manually searching or going through a "trial and error" process of adding duplicates.
Identifying this friction, I built this extension to act as a "second brain" for the Spotify Web Player, giving me instant visibility and quick actions.

- Real-Time Detection: Automatically identifies the "Now Playing" song directly from the DOM.
- Instant Cross-Reference: Scans cached playlist data to list exactly which of your playlists already contain the current track.
- Advanced Filtering: Filter your playlists by string (include/exclude) or song count (min/max) to find the right list instantly.
- Find on YouTube: One-click search to find the video version of the playing track.
- Lyrics Integration: Opens Skiley.net for instant access to lyrics.
- Data Export: Capability to download playlist metadata as JSON/CSV for offline analysis.
- Quick Share: Instantly copy the track's Spotify URL to the clipboard.
- Core: Native JavaScript (ES6+), HTML, CSS.
- Platform: Chrome Extension API (Manifest V3 compatible).
- Integration: Spotify Web API (OAuth 2.0 Implicit Grant).
- Performance: Implements local caching (LocalStorage) to handle large datasets (thousands of tracks) without hitting API rate limits during standard usage.
- Clone this repository.

This project was built as a rapid "Proof of Concept" productivity tool for personal use. It prioritizes immediate functionality and specific workflow solutions over enterprise-grade architecture.
