Instructions

1. Set Up Spotify API Credentials

   To access your Spotify playlists, you'll need to create a Spotify app to obtain the necessary credentials.

   a. Create a Spotify App

   • Visit the Spotify Developer Dashboard and log in with your Spotify account.
   • Click on "Create an App".
   • Fill in the required details and accept the terms.
   • Once the app is created, you'll see your Client ID and Client Secret.

   b. Set the Redirect URI

   • In your app's settings, click on "Edit Settings".
   • Under "Redirect URIs", add a URI (e.g., http://localhost:8888/callback).
   • Save the changes.

   c. Update the Script with Your Credentials

   Replace the placeholders in the script with your actual credentials:

   SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID = 'YOUR_SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID'
   SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET = 'YOUR_SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET'
   SPOTIFY_REDIRECT_URI = 'YOUR_SPOTIFY_REDIRECT_URI'  # e.g., 'http://localhost:8888/callback'

2. Obtain Your Spotify Playlist ID

   • Open Spotify and navigate to the playlist you want to convert.

   • Click on the three dots (...) next to the playlist name.

   • Select "Share" > "Copy Link to Playlist".

   • The link will look like https://open.spotify.com/playlist/PLAYLIST_ID?....

   • Extract the PLAYLIST_ID from the URL and replace it in the script:

     SPOTIFY_PLAYLIST_ID = 'YOUR_SPOTIFY_PLAYLIST_ID'

3. Customize Playlist Details

   In the script, set your desired YouTube Music playlist name and privacy status:

   playlist_name = 'Your Playlist Name'  # Replace with your desired name
   privacy_status = 'PRIVATE'  # Options: 'PRIVATE', 'PUBLIC', 'UNLISTED'

4. Install Required Libraries

   Make sure you have both spotipy and ytmusicapi installed:

   pip install spotipy ytmusicapi

5. Run the Script

   Now you're ready to run the script:

   python your_script_name.py

How the Script Works

• Spotify Authentication:

  • Uses spotipy.SpotifyOAuth to authenticate with Spotify.
  • Requires client_id, client_secret, and redirect_uri.

• Retrieve Spotify Playlist Tracks:

  • The function get_spotify_playlist_tracks fetches all tracks from the specified Spotify playlist.
  • Handles pagination to retrieve playlists with more than 100 tracks.

• Initialize YouTube Music API:

  • Creates an instance of YTMusic for API calls using Oauth.

• Create YouTube Music Playlist:

  • Creates a new playlist on YouTube Music with the specified name and privacy status.

• Search and Add Tracks:

  • Iterates over each track from the Spotify playlist.
  • Searches YouTube Music for the track using the song name and artist(s).
  • Adds the best matching track to the YouTube Music playlist.
  • Includes a time.sleep(1) call to respect rate limits.

• Error Handling:

  • If a track isn't found on YouTube Music, it prints a message and continues.
