This extension builds a Spotify playlist out of a random selection of tracks found in My Library to let you listen to everything you have in there on shuffle.
It picks tracks from Liked Songs, Liked Albums and Liked Playlists.
Extension developers: see Book.md for a deep dive into Rust/WASM in browser extensions.

Activate the extension
The extension works only on a page with a Spotify playlist. Opening it on any other page disables the Go button.
Create a new playlist or open a playlist you created earlier. New tracks are added at the end of the playlist if it already has some tracks in it.
A simple progress log is displayed while the tracks are being added. Keep the popup window open if you want to watch the updates.
The little badge with ... over the toolbar button appears while the background script is running. The extension will continue running if you navigate away from the playlist page or close the window.
Refresh the page to see newly added tracks.
Feel free to open an issue if you run into problems or have any feedback.
This extension does not collect any information about the user or user activities.
The only site it communicates with is Spotify.
The plugin intercepts the session token from Spotify requests and impersonates the Spotify client to:
- read the contents of the user library
- add random tracks from your library to the current playlist
It does not transmit any of your data to any third party. All requests go to Spotify only.
Most of the work is done by a WASM module built in Rust.
