The new Spotify Web API gives developers the ability to create and add tracks to a playlist for the user. "This is a pretty powerful feature opening the door for a whole range of apps," [says](http://musicmachinery.com/2014/06/23/my-new-superpower-creating-spotify-playlists-from-a-web-app/?ref=hypebot.com) Paul Lamere, Director of Developer Platform for Spotify owned The Echo Nest. "For instance, this weekend, I added the ability to save a [Roadtrip Mixtape](http://labs.echonest.com/CityServer/roadtrip.html?ref=hypebot.com) playlist, so you can now actually take your mixtapes on the road."

The code is on [github](https://github.com/plamere/roadtrip-mixtape?ref=hypebot.com).
