Tidal Playlist

Manage Tidal playlists: list, create, rename, delete, set visibility, and add or remove content.

Commands

playlist list

• Usage: tidal-cli --json playlist list [--public|--private]
• Arguments: --public / --private (optional) — restrict to public or private playlists; omit for all
• Output: [{id, name, num_tracks, public}]

playlist tracks

• Usage: tidal-cli --json playlist tracks --playlist-id <id>
• Arguments: --playlist-id (required)
• Output: [{track_number, id, title, artist, album, duration_seconds}]
• track_number : position dans la playlist (1..N), pas le numéro sur l'album

playlist create

• Usage: tidal-cli --json playlist create --name "<name>" [--desc "<description>"] [--public|--private]
• Arguments: --name (required), --desc (optional), --public / --private (optional, default private)
• Output: {id, name, description, public}
• Tidal always creates playlists private, so --public triggers a second call. If it fails, the

playlist still exists: the command warns on stderr, returns public: false and exits 0.

playlist rename

• Usage: tidal-cli --json playlist rename --playlist-id <id> --name "<new_name>"
• Arguments: --playlist-id (required), --name (required)
• Output: {status, id, old_name, new_name}

playlist visibility

• Usage: tidal-cli --json playlist visibility --playlist-id <id> --public|--private
• Arguments: --playlist-id (required), exactly one of --public / --private (required)
• Output: {status, id, name, was_public, public}

playlist delete

• Usage: tidal-cli --json playlist delete --playlist-id <id>
• Arguments: --playlist-id (required)
• Output: {status, id, name}

playlist add-album

• Usage: tidal-cli --json playlist add-album --playlist-id <id> --album-id <id>
• Arguments: --playlist-id (required), --album-id (required)
• Output: {status, tracks_added, album, playlist}

playlist add-track

• Usage: tidal-cli --json playlist add-track --playlist-id <id> --track-id <id>
• Arguments: --playlist-id (required), --track-id (required)
• Output: {status, track, playlist}

playlist remove-track

• Usage: tidal-cli --json playlist remove-track --playlist-id <id> --track-id <id>
• Arguments: --playlist-id (required), --track-id (required)
• Output: {status, track, playlist}

Instructions

1. Parse $ARGUMENTS to determine the operation (first word) and its parameters:

• list — optionally extract --public or --private
• tracks — extract --playlist-id
• create — extract --name and optionally --desc, --public or --private
• rename — extract --playlist-id and --name
• delete — extract --playlist-id
• visibility — extract --playlist-id and --public or --private
• add-album — extract --playlist-id and --album-id
• add-track — extract --playlist-id and --track-id
• remove-track — extract --playlist-id and --track-id
• If no operation given, show usage: /tidal-playlist <list|tracks|create|rename|delete|visibility|add-album|add-track|remove-track> [options]

1. Run the appropriate command and parse JSON output:

• list → format as table with columns ID, Name, Tracks, Visibility (public/private)
• tracks → format as numbered list: #. Title — Artist [Album] MM:SS
• create → confirm: "Playlist created: <name> (ID: <id>)". If --public was requested

but the output shows public: false, warn that it was created private and suggest /tidal-playlist visibility --playlist-id <id> --public.

• rename → confirm: "Playlist renamed: <old_name> → <new_name>"
• visibility → confirm: "Playlist <name> is now <public|private>." If was_public already equals the requested value, say it was already in that state.
• delete → confirm: "Playlist <name> (ID: <id>) deleted."
• add-album → confirm: "<tracks_added> track(s) from album <album> added to playlist <playlist>."
• add-track → confirm: "Track <track> added to playlist <playlist>."
• remove-track → confirm: "Track <track> removed from playlist <playlist>."

1. If required arguments are missing for an operation, show a usage hint specific to that operation.

Error Handling

• If exit code is non-zero, read stderr:
• "Error: Not authenticated" → "You need to authenticate first. Run /tidal-auth to log in."
• "Error: Playlist not found" → "Playlist not found (ID: <id>). Use /tidal-playlist list to see your playlists."
• "Error: Track not found in playlist" → "Track (ID: <id>) is not in this playlist."
• "Error: Playlist name cannot be empty" → "Please provide a non-empty playlist name."
• "Error: Playlist is not owned by the current user" → "You can only change the visibility of playlists you own."
• "Error: Unable to connect to Tidal" → "Network error: unable to reach Tidal. Check your internet connection."
• Any other error → display the raw error message with label "Error:"
