Playlist Review

playlist-review

Process tracks that the resolver couldn't auto-match.

When to Use

• After spoti-bye resolve runs and flags low-confidence matches
• User wants to manually approve or reject YouTube candidates

Review File Location

After resolving, flagged tracks land in:

~/.spoti-bye/youtube-review-<playlist_id>.json

Each entry looks like:

{
  "song_id": 1234,
  "artist": "Artist Name",
  "title": "Song Title",
  "best_candidate_video_id": "dQw4w9WgXcQ",
  "best_candidate_score": 3,
  "scoring_notes": ["VEVO channel (+3)", "duration ±2s (+3)"],
  "youtube_url": "https://youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"
}

How to Review

1. Open the review file
2. For each entry:
   • Check the youtube_url to verify the video
   • Accept: keep the best_candidate_video_id as-is
   • Different video: replace best_candidate_video_id with the correct ID
   • Mark unavailable: set best_candidate_video_id to null
3. Save the file
4. Run: spoti-bye review

The review command applies all decisions and deletes processed files.

Review Heuristics

• Score 4+ from artist/Topic channel with good duration → usually safe to accept
• Score ≤2 with duration >15s off → manually search for a better match
• No results for indie/local artists → mark null (UNAVAILABLE)
• Podcast episodes (duration >10 min, no artist) → mark null
• Score 3 with title mismatch (remix, remaster) → verify the video before accepting
