Move Spotify playlists to YouTube Music
If you're trying to move from Spotify to YouTube Music, you can use this python script to take your playlists from Spotify and import them into YouTube Music. It's definitely not perfect... I ended up with a couple pretty weird songs in my imported playlists. But it's about the best I think I can do, given the tools available.
You gotta do some stuff first
Go export your playlists from Spotify.
This python script assumes you've used exportify to create CSV backups of your Spotify playlists.
If you're using a different method, you'll probably end up with a differently formatted file.
In which case, you'll need to create your own load_spotify_playlist function.
You also need to go through the setup instructions for ytmusicapi to make an auth file. If you're having trouble with this, my blog post on making the code in this repo might be helpful to you.
How to use this script
Setup:
virtualenv -p python3 venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install ytmusicapi
Run:
python main.py -h
usage: main.py [-h] [-p PLAYLIST] [-d DESCRIPTION] [-l] auth file
Import a Spotify playlist to YouTube Music
positional arguments:
auth ytmusicapi auth file
file Exported Spotify playlist CSV file
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-p PLAYLIST, --playlist PLAYLIST
Playlist name
-d DESCRIPTION, --description DESCRIPTION
Playlist description
-l, --likes Add songs to your liked songs instead of a YouTube
Music playlist
Examples
Takes all the songs in liked.csv and adds them to your liked songs in YouTube Music.
$ python main.py auth_file.json liked.csv --likes
Takes all the songs in energy_techno.csv and adds them to the playlist "Energy Techno" (creates a new playlist if one does not already exist).
$ python main.py auth_file.json energy_techno.csv --playlist "Energy Techno"
Takes all the songs in workout.csv and adds them to the playlist "Workout" with description "Songs to get me PUMPED" (creates a new playlist if one does not already exist).
$ python main.py auth_file.json workout.csv --playlist "Workout" --description "Songs to get me PUMPED"
Closing remarks
I've put in some error handling and what are hopefully useful messages, but I put this together in literally a day. If you have problems, feel free to open an issue. But I can't promise I'll get to it in a timely fashion whatsoever.
