Popular songs of Last.fm to iTunes library

Popular songs of Last.fm to iTunes library

How to use, 

You need a organized iTunes library :)

1. Create manually a playlist called "_Popular" in iTunes
2. Replace "YOUR_API" in script with a valid last.fm api key
3. Execute script, if you send a parameter it will auto launch, else will show a window to input artist

from Tkinter import *
import requests
import os
import sys

# set utf8 encoding to avoid problems with names of songs
reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding("utf-8")


def cmdPlaylist():
    doPlaylist(entry.get())


def doPlaylist(artistParam):
    params = dict(
        artist=artistParam,
        api_key='your api key :)',
        format='json',
        method='artist.gettoptracks'
    )

    resp = requests.get(url='http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/', params=params)
    data = resp.json()
    toptracks = data['toptracks']['track']

    # delete songs of playlist
    os.system("osascript -e 'tell application \"iTunes\"' -e 'delete tracks of playlist \"_Popular\"' -e 'end tell'")

    for track in toptracks:
        os.system("osascript -e 'tell application \"iTunes\"' -e 'set trackSel to (first track whose name contains \"" + track['name'] + "\" and artist contains \""+ artistParam +"\")' -e 'duplicate trackSel to playlist \"_Popular\"' -e 'end tell'")

    os.system("osascript -e 'tell application \"iTunes\" to play playlist \"_Popular\"'")

# If called with arguments auto-launch playlist else, entry window
