Step 1 — Enter your input
More tracks = same request, just a longer wait — there's no extra cost to asking for the max.

How does Last.fm Tag work?
Track Down builds a Spotify playlist from any Last.fm genre tag — electronic, jazz, shoegaze, or any tag Last.fm tracks — by pulling that tag's top-scrobbled tracks across all Last.fm users and matching each one to Spotify.
Steps
- 1Type a genre tag, such as "electronic" or "hip-hop."
- 2Track Down calls Last.fm's tag.gettoptracks endpoint and pulls up to 1,000 of the tag's most-scrobbled tracks community-wide in one request.
- 3Each track is matched and scored against Spotify the same way as every other Track Down source.
- 4Save the confident matches to a new or existing Spotify playlist.
Frequently asked questions
Where do the tracks for a genre tag come from — my account or everyone's?
Everyone's. Tag-based results are Last.fm's community-wide top tracks for that tag, aggregated across all Last.fm users, not personalized to any one account.
What happens if I use a tag that doesn't exist or has very few scrobbles?
Last.fm returns whatever tracks it has tagged, which may be far fewer than 1,000 for niche or misspelled tags — Track Down will simply match and show however many tracks come back.
Can I combine multiple genre tags in one playlist?
Not in a single run — each Tag conversion pulls one tag at a time. Running the tool again with a different tag and saving to the same existing playlist is the way to combine genres.
