Hi, I’m relatively new to programming, but I’m trying to learn more. I’m trying to figure out if I can do any of the following and how I might go about doing so:
- Let users move sliders to filter different media elements (Spotify tracks) appear or disappear depending on the value of the slider. For example, when the slider is set to 20% ten different Spotify tracks will pop up which would be replaced by a different set of ten tracks when the slider is set to 50%.
- Integrate or create a program that would generate a custom set Spotify tracks that appear based on user input from multiple sliders. For example, if the user sets the slider named Rock to 50% and Pop to 25% then ten tracks would be listed that are from different artists that best fit the user’s preferences.
- Create a radar graph of music genre preferences that reflects user input from sliders going from 0-100%. The idea is to visually display the user’s preference for one genre of music over another.
When I consulted support about this issue they suggested using the Spotify API, but even after some research I’m not clear on how I could use it to implement the three goals I listed above. I tried to write out some of my own code, but it didn’t work. When I tested a code that I know runs properly, it was just displayed as a text box instead of actually running the code. I verified that I was using the correct programming language as well. I’m just looking for some answers from someone that may have more programming experience with Corvid than I do, as GitHub and StackOverflow don’t quite seem to return the answers I’m looking for. I’d really like to learn how to program this myself rather than hire a developer.
Thank you and I look forward to hearing your answers!
