There's also a Firefox version available.
Do you want to find new music? Are you interested in this year's releases, are you trying to get into a new genre or get to know 1993's field recordings of melting ice?
Would you like to do this without the tediousness of searching single songs and making playlists of them? Do you like simple and functional things?
If so, Nice Playlist Generator might be just what you want. Useful data gathered by rateyourmusic.com users in the form of charts and lists can be turned into Spotify playlists in a few easy steps.
Here's how:
In your browser, navigate to a rateyourmusic.com's chart or an user submitted list.
Click the Nice Playlist Generator icon in your address bar.
If the add-on finds at least one item representing an album (or other kind of release) on the current page, the "Get spotify links" button activates.
After you click it, the search on Spotify is started. You are informed about the amount of releases successfully found on Spotify and about the ones that could not be found.
After the search finishes the "Copy playlist to clipboard" button activates.
When you click it, you can go to the Spotify desktop application and choose a newly made or existing playlist you want to add the new tracks into.
Click into the content pane of the playlist and paste the tracks found by Nice Playlist Generator into it by pressing Ctrl + V
Every release will be represented by its most popular track on Spotify.
That's it. Nice listening

Was working great for a while. Not sure what's changed but it's stuck on "Searching, please wait..." on every list I build now. Tried turning on and off different settings and filters on RYM to try and figure out what's breaking it but I got no idea. Edit: Maybe one idea. I think it breaks if you have a filter on, like excluding rated albums. But getting it working again after that is real finnicky, sometimes it's fine and sometimes it's stuck.
this is amazing
do you think you could perhaps add a feature to fetch entire albums? or something like a specific number of most streamed songs? (top 3 for example)
so convenient!!
Excellent Script, has been buggy the last couple of days, is not searching for me, hope its an easy fix, id be lost without this
10/10 but recently has been getting up to 10 songs generated before stopping. hope it's fixed soon! otherwise, 10/10
Awesome tool, would love for it to be able to add entire albums
Pretty cool! could you make it so there's an option to add entire albums, not just single songs? Thanks!
great extension but it gets stuck when a page contains a Various Artists release now
Not working, only showing a centimetre of so of the left edge.

Can you add a function so that it compiles all releases on the ratings section of someone's userpage into a big playlist? I'd like to complie all my 5 star albums into a playlist. Thank you!

Very nice!
Very nice!
been using it for 3 years now. for some reason recently it started getting about 2/3rds of the music really wrong, almost as if it stopped matching the titles and started matching just the first 2-3 letters, or none at all. sometimes I'm baffled as to how certain artists are chosen.

Very cool, efficient and easy to use. Some songs that the extension spits out aren't the most popular, but it's a minor snag. Thanks!

As an RYM user for 16 years, I find this extension very helpful to easily listen to new music. It works very well. Developer feedback: As with RYM in general, the extension requires some manual steps to use. I would love an option to embed a spotify player of the corresponding playlist on RYM pages. It would require less manual work from the user to use, and it would prevent the user from making playlists that they might need to throw away. Maybe https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-playback-sdk/quick-start/

Does perfectly what it sets out to do, and does it fast. Very, very useful for spotify users who want to take advantage of the vast database of handpicked lists that is available on RYM.
