Install

pip install csv2tidal

For local development:

pip install -e .

Usage

Launch the interactive app:

csv2tidal

[!NOTE] Interactive defaults:

• pressing Enter at the transfer destination prompt selects Playlist
• the CSV filename is used as the default playlist name
• JSON report creation depends on the saved Generate JSON report? setting

Notes

[!TIP]

• Exportify CSV from exportify.app is the primary supported input format.
• The CSV filename is used as the fallback collection or playlist name when the file itself does not include one.
• TIDAL login uses OAuth in your browser and stores a local session for reuse.
• Existing tidal-transfer settings and session data are migrated automatically to the new csv2tidal app-data folder on first run.
