Feature: Custom Playlist Builder — Create playlists via Web UI

[mholzi]

Feature

Visual playlist editor in the Beatify admin UI — no more editing JSON files manually.

Concept

• Search songs by artist/title (via Spotify API or local library)
• Add/remove songs with click
• Auto-fetch metadata: year, album art, streaming URIs
• Drag & drop reorder
• Export as Beatify-compatible JSON
• Edit existing playlists

Why

• Current workflow (edit JSON, enrich with script, commit) is developer-only
• Opens playlist creation to non-technical users
• Community can create and share playlists more easily
• Faster iteration on playlist quality

Implementation Ideas

• New admin page: /beatify/admin/playlist-editor
• Spotify Search API for song lookup
• Odesli API integration for cross-platform URIs
• Fun fact generation could be manual or AI-assisted
• Save directly to www/playlists/ directory
