2. Create a Spotify Developer account and create a new app to get your client ID and client secret - quick youtube guide here
3. Set your Spotify username, playlist ID's, client ID and secret in config.yml (see + copy config.example.yml)
4. Run the script:
   • python get-release-dates.py show all tracks in playlists with release dates
   • --playlist generate a playlist you can copy & paste directly into Spotify
   • --year=1972 filter by track/album release year
