About

I love creating playlists on spotify but some of the best Black Metal out there is on youtube/bandcamp only...

I found some online solutions for syncing playlists across services, but they mostly require you to sign up, pay, etc...

So I made this:



This tool facilitates the process of copying the songs from a spotify playlist to a youtube playlist (and any artist + song that you enter in the columns actually...).

Then you can go crazy and add all the underground shit you want!

Requirements

  • Spotify account (not necessarily Premium)

  • Spotify API keys (instructions here)

    Note: as long as you don't exaggerate, the queries made by this tool should fall under the free Spotify API usage tier...

  • Google account

    Note: there is no Youtube API key required; it just asks your authorization when running the code, since you will be manipulating your playlists

Setup

  • The simplest way to get started is to make a copy of the Pre-configured document.

    (optional): double-check the configuration

    • Navigate here:

    • And check that the utils.gs script is present, and the Youtube Data service is enabled:

  • Get your Spotify API client ID and client secret by creating an App in the Spotify Dev dashboard

  • Start using it!

    Set up the URLS, click on Import Songs from Spotify, and if you are satisfied with the result, start the migration with Populate Youtube Playlist.

    Note: Google will ask you for authorization for running the code and for manipulating playlists with your Youtube account.
