About

A program that creates an image collage from album covers from recently saved Spotify songs.

I came up with this idea when I wanted an album collage as my desktop wallpaper and figured others might want to do the same. Kind of similar to when I had songs on iTunes (before I jumped on the Spotify train in 2012) and it would create a screen saver of all the albums.

The first iteration took about under a day in real time because I wasn't familiar with the PIL library at all and, therefore, had to spend a lot of that time troubleshooting errors.

Current Functionality

• User can generate a basic collage in the notebook

  • SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID
