About Track Down
What this is
Track Down is a small, independent tool for turning music from Last.fm, YouTube, text, files, and existing Spotify playlists into new Spotify playlists. It was built to solve one specific annoyance: moving a list of tracks into Spotify shouldn't require re-typing every song by hand.
Why it's safe to connect Spotify
Track Down runs entirely in your browser. There is no user database and no server-side session — your Spotify access token is stored in your browser's sessionStorage and is never sent to or stored on our server. The only server code that exists is a thin passthrough for Last.fm's API, which holds our API key and forwards your request; it has no knowledge of who you are.
No database, period
There is no user database and no server-side session anywhere in Track Down — your Spotify token lives only in your browser's sessionStorage.
Who's behind it
Track Down is built and maintained independently, not by Spotify or Last.fm. It isn't affiliated with either company.
How it makes money
Right now, it doesn't — Track Down runs on Cloudflare's free tier and costs nothing to operate at its current scale. If that changes, it'll be through non-intrusive advertising, not by selling user data, because there isn't any user data to sell.
