Playlist Converter

This Python program offers a solution to convert your Spotify playlists into YouTube Music playlists by leveraging both Spotify's and Google's APIs.

Purpose

The primary motivation behind developing this program was to address a problem I and many others likely face: the hassle of exchanging playlists between Spotify and YouTube Music. My friend had the best playlist of all time but it was on YouTube music, weird. It's a good thing I'm a computer scientist and I can streamline every single tedious task in my life with a few lines of code.

How it Works

Spotify Playlist Conversion (spotifyplylst.py):

Run spotifyplylst.py, which will prompt you to:

• Select a playlist from your Spotify account for conversion.
• Specify the desired name and description for the new YouTube Music playlist.

Utilizing the subprocess module, spotifyplylst.py triggers the execution of youtubeplylst.py.

YouTube Music Playlist Creation (youtubeplylst.py):

• After logging in with your Google account, youtubeplylst.py creates the YouTube Music playlist, using the title and description provided.
• If any songs from the Spotify playlist are unavailable on YouTube Music, the program generates a list of these songs, ensuring transparency about which tracks could not be added due to unavailability.

Please note that while Spotify offers a vast collection of songs, podcasts, and audio content, not all of these may be available on YouTube. As a result, this program helps identify and report any content that could not be added to the YouTube Music playlist.

Prerequisites

Before using this program, you will need to set up your Spotify (see spotify_api_token_gen.js) and Google API credentials. Detailed instructions for setting up these credentials can be found in the respective documentation provided with this repository.

Usage

1. Clone this repository to your local machine.
2. Configure your Spotify and Google API credentials as per the instructions.
3. Run spotifyplylst.py and follow the prompts to initiate the conversion process.
