SpaceJam - the Spotify playlist generator

SpaceJam - Open playlist in Spotify

This program creates a Spotify playlist called SpaceJam. Tracks are added to the playlist based on the geolocation of the ISS (International Space Station).

The idea is to get the coordinates of the current ISS position and use this to create a keyword to search for a track on Spotify. The track is then added to the SpaceJam playlist.

The program creates the playlist if it doesn't already exists.

Note: ISS is mainly over water.
