# Spotify Playlist Checker
A simple web application that scans a Spotify playlist and identifies unavailable tracks. This project is written in pure JavaScript with a minimalistic UI design.
## How to Use
1. Open the app: [Spotify Playlist Checker](https://pawllo01.github.io/spotify-playlist-checker/)
2. Paste a valid Spotify playlist URL (e.g., `https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5KJDMJe9EJ7QRz8FG2MIpI`) or just the playlist ID (`5KJDMJe9EJ7QRz8FG2MIpI`) into the input field.
3. Click the **Check** button.
4. If unavailable tracks are found, you can search for alternatives by clicking **Find Alternatives**. Clicking on a track name will open its album page on Spotify.
## FAQ
### How to fix unavailable tracks?
Remove the unavailable track from your playlist, find an alternative (if available), and add it back.
### What does "unavailable track" mean?
A track is considered unavailable if it belongs to an unavailable album. This means the distributor or label has removed that particular release from Spotify, making it inaccessible in all countries or regions. However, in most cases, the album has been re-released under a different ID. Distributors or labels typically do this to update metadata, such as track names, artist names, release dates, etc.
You can still access an unavailable album if you have a direct link, but it won't be searchable or visible on the artist's discography page.
### How to check where an album is available?
You can use [Spotify Album Availability](https://github.com/pawllo01/spotify-album-availability) to visualize in which countries the album is available and in which it is unavailable.
