spotify-to-ytmusic

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

pipx ensurepath

Open a new shell. Install:

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

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:

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).

spotify_to_ytmusic all <spotifyuserid>

Transfer liked tracks of the Spotify user

You must use oAuth authentication for transferring liked songs.

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.

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