A Python script to migrate your Google Play Music playlists to Spotify!

Setup

You need to register application with Spotify to access their api. You can do this here.

Next you will want to setup your .env file with the info from the Spotify Dashboard. You can do this by modifying the .env.example and renaming it to .env.

Then, assuming you have python3 installed run pip3 install -r requirements.txt.

Run

First you will need to scrape your playlists from G Music by running python3 g-auth.py This will give you a link to visit to grant API access after you enter the auth key returned.

After you've authenticated with G Music, you can then run the scrape.py script to pull your playlists into the folder playlist.

Migrate to Spotify

Once the playlists are ready in the folder playlists, you can now start the migration process.

NOTICE this script can be destructive to existing playlists with the same names as the playlists from G Music.

If you have playlists with the same names already in Spotify, you can rename the playlists under playlists/ to be unique in order help prevent removing songs from existing playlists.

After you have set up your .env file with your Spotify API information you can then run python3 migrate.py. This should start song by song querying the Spotify API and prompting you to choose a version of the song when the choice is not obvious.

Once all of the songs have been chosen the script will attempt to create the playlist if it doesn't exist, and overwrite the playlist if it does exist.

If there were any songs that were not found in the search, you can check output.log for warning's that will mention which songs were not found and will have to be manually added to the playlist.

Currently I have the script only running one playlist at a time in case there are any issues, you will have to remove or move the playlist that you just migrated from the playlists folder in order to migrate the next playlist.

Feedback and Issues

This script will have issues. I haven't done thorough testing of all scenarios, just enough to get my playlists moved over. If you do run into an issue, please open a Github issue and if possible attach your output.log file.
