Quick Overview

The sigma67/spotify_to_ytmusic repository is a Python-based tool that allows users to transfer their Spotify playlists to YouTube Music. It provides a seamless way to migrate music libraries between these two popular streaming platforms, maintaining playlist structure and song matching.

Pros

Automates the process of transferring playlists from Spotify to YouTube Music
Supports both public and private Spotify playlists
Handles song matching between platforms, even when exact matches aren't found
Offers a command-line interface for easy use

Cons

Requires API credentials for both Spotify and YouTube Music
May not perfectly match all songs due to differences in music catalogs
Limited to one-way transfer (Spotify to YouTube Music, not vice versa)
Depends on third-party libraries that may require updates

Code Examples

Authenticating with Spotify and YouTube Music:

from spotify_to_ytmusic import SpotifyToYTMusic

transfer = SpotifyToYTMusic(spotify_client_id, spotify_client_secret, ytmusic_headers)

Transferring a single playlist:

playlist_id = "spotify:playlist:37i9dQZF1DXcBWIGoYBM5M"
transfer.transfer_playlist(playlist_id)

Transferring all playlists for a user:

transfer.transfer_all_playlists()

Getting Started

Install the library:
```
pip install spotify-to-ytmusic
```
Set up API credentials:
- Obtain Spotify API credentials from the Spotify Developer Dashboard
- Get YouTube Music authentication headers using ytmusicapi
Create a configuration file or set environment variables with your credentials

Run the transfer script:

from spotify_to_ytmusic import SpotifyToYTMusic

transfer = SpotifyToYTMusic()
transfer.transfer_all_playlists()

This will transfer all your Spotify playlists to YouTube Music. Make sure to handle exceptions and respect API rate limits when using the tool.

Pros of Tidal-Media-Downloader

Supports direct downloading of high-quality audio files from Tidal
Offers a command-line interface for efficient batch downloading
Includes features for downloading album artwork and metadata

Cons of Tidal-Media-Downloader

Limited to Tidal platform, while spotify_to_ytmusic supports cross-platform transfer
Requires a Tidal subscription for full functionality
May raise legal concerns due to direct downloading of copyrighted content

Code Comparison

Tidal-Media-Downloader:

def start(argv=None):
    args = parse_arguments(argv)
    if args.logout:
        TIDAL_API.logout()
        return

spotify_to_ytmusic:

def transfer_playlists(sp, ytmusic):
    playlists = sp.current_user_playlists()
    for playlist in playlists['items']:
        transfer_playlist(sp, ytmusic, playlist)

Both projects use Python and provide command-line interfaces. Tidal-Media-Downloader focuses on direct file downloads, while spotify_to_ytmusic emphasizes playlist transfer between platforms. The code snippets show different approaches: Tidal-Media-Downloader handles user authentication and logout, while spotify_to_ytmusic manages playlist transfers between services.

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

Transfer a single Spotify playlist
Like all the songs in a Spotify playlist
Update a transferred playlist on YouTube Music
Transfer all playlists for a Spotify user
Like all songs from all playlists for a Spotify user
Remove playlists from YouTube Music

Install

Python 3 - https://www.python.org
pipx - https://pipx.pypa.io

.. code-block::

pipx ensurepath

Open a new shell. Install:

.. code-block::

pipx install spotify_to_ytmusic

Setup

Generate a new app at https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard
Generate a new app by following instructions at https://ytmusicapi.readthedocs.io/en/stable/setup/oauth.html
Run

.. code-block::

spotify_to_ytmusic setup

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

If you want to transfer private playlists from Spotify (i.e. liked songs), choose "yes" for oAuth authentication, otherwise choose "no". For oAuth authentication you should set http://localhost as redirect URI for your app in Spotify's developer dashboard.

Usage

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

.. code-block::

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_youtube.txt.

Transfer all playlists of a Spotify user

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

.. code-block::

spotify_to_ytmusic all <spotifyuserid>

Transfer liked tracks of the Spotify user

You must use oAuth authentication for transferring liked songs.

.. code-block::

spotify_to_ytmusic liked

This command will open browser where you should give access to your account (if you haven't done that before). After authorization you will be redirected to localhost, copy link you were redirected to (looks like localhost/?code=...) and paste to command line.

Command line options

There are some additional command line options for setting the playlist name and determining whether it's public or not. To view them, run

.. code::

spotify_to_ytmusic -h

To view subcommand help, run i.e.

.. code-block::

spotify_to_ytmusic setup -h

Available subcommands:

.. code-block::

positional arguments:
  {setup,create,update,remove,all}
                        Provide a subcommand
    setup               Set up credentials
    create              Create a new playlist on YouTube Music.
    update              Delete all entries in the provided Google Play Music playlist and update the playlist with entries from the Spotify playlist.
    remove              Remove playlists with specified regex pattern.
    all                 Transfer all public playlists of the specified user (Spotify User ID).

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
