This is a post about an IFTTT recipe I made. Not sure what IFTTT is?

What this recipe does

These recipes download the songs in your Spotify Playlist via Last.fm Free Music and Soundcloud downloadable tracks. The tracks at these sites have been submitted by the artist and been marked as free and downloadable for the public.

What’s the difference? Download only exact matches only does steps 1 to 3 of How it Works  Below. As such it is very limiting (it only gets the exact song).

Set up Instructions

  1. In Spotify right click on your playlist and select Copy Spotify URI  then go to the desired recipe

    • How to Copy Spotify URI How to Copy Spotify URI
    • Then go to the desired recipe (links above)
    • In the URL field paste your Spotify URI after the = sign ( or you can leave it as  spotify:user:spotify:playlist:4hOKQuZbraPDIfaGbM3lKI for Top 100 tracks currently on Spotify playlist )
    • Paste the Spotify URI after the "=" sign Paste the Spotify URI after the = sign

How it works

  1. Yahoo pipes checks your spotify playlist
  2. Then song by song it checks to see if the song is available legally for free from Last.fm
  3. If it is Yahoo Pipes tells IFTTT to add it to your dropbox or equivilent.
  4. If it isn’t Yahoo Pipes searches Soundcloud for the songs title and artist and then downloads the first downloadable song. This is why remixed version are often downloaded.

Update: Issues

The recipes will still work, however the recipes aren’t triggered as frequently as they should be. [Details]
