A simple command line script to clone a Spotify playlist to YouTube Music.

pip install spotify_to_ytmusic

Setup

1. Generate a new app at https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard
2. Run

spotify_to_ytmusic setup

For backwards compatibility you can also create your own file and pass it using --file settings.ini.

Usage

After you've completed setup, you can simply run the script from the command line using:

spotify_to_ytmusic create <spotifylink>

where <spotifylink> is a link like https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0S0cuX8pnvmF7gA47Eu63M

The script will log its progress and output songs that were not found in YouTube Music to noresults.txt.

For migration purposes, it is possible to transfer all public playlists of a user by using the Spotify user's ID (unique username).

spotify_to_ytmusic all <spotifyuserid>
