How to Turn Any Music Article into a Spotify Playlist

Zo Computer gives you a personal cloud server with an AI that can browse the web, connect to apps, and run automations for you. One surprisingly useful trick: turning music articles into Spotify playlists.

You find a great "Best of 2024" list, a "Songs of the Summer" roundup, or a curated tracklist buried in a blog post. You want those songs in Spotify. The old way: open Spotify, search each song manually, add to playlist, repeat 20 times. The new way: paste the URL and let your AI do it.

How it works

Zo can read any webpage, understand its content, and take actions based on what it finds. When you connect your Spotify account, your AI gains the ability to search for tracks, create playlists, and add songs.

Combine these: read a music article, extract the song titles and artists, search Spotify for each one, create a playlist, add the tracks. What would take you 15 minutes of tab-switching happens in about 30 seconds.

Example: Pitchfork Best New Tracks

Pitchfork's Best New Tracks is a running list of the songs their editors think are worth hearing right now. Great for discovery, but there's no built-in way to listen to them all.

Zo has a skill that handles this automatically. Run it and your AI will:

  1. Fetch the Pitchfork Best New Tracks page

  2. Extract the 10 most recent song titles and artists

  3. Search Spotify for each track

  4. Create a new playlist with today's date

  5. Add all the found tracks

  6. Report what was added (and what couldn't be found)

You get a fresh playlist of Pitchfork picks without touching Spotify's search bar.

Works with any music article

The Pitchfork skill is just one example. The same approach works for:

  • Year-end best-of lists from any publication

  • Album reviews that mention standout tracks

  • "If you like X, try these" recommendation posts

  • Festival lineup announcements

  • Playlist breakdowns on music blogs

  • Reddit threads with song recommendations

Paste a URL and ask Zo:

Prompt

Create a Spotify playlist from the songs mentioned in this article: [paste URL]

For Pitchfork Best New Tracks, you can also ask Zo to run the Pitchfork skill.

Why this is better than alternatives

There are other ways to automate playlists, but they require more setup:

  • IFTTT and Zapier can connect services, but you need to configure triggers and actions for each workflow. They can't read arbitrary webpages.

  • PlaylistAI can create playlists from prompts, but you still have to manually describe what you want.

With Zo, there's no workflow to build. You paste a URL, describe what you want, and the AI handles it. The same AI that can read the web can also take actions in your connected apps.

What else can you do on Zo?

Reading webpages and creating playlists is one pattern. The same AI can help you:

The pattern is always the same: tell your AI what you want, and it figures out the steps.
