Playlist Sync

These Python scripts and accompanying Spotify application sync my latest Apple Music playlists with my Spotify playlists so my weeb friends can enjoy my 🔥 music taste.

Dependancies

You will need the following packages installed for Python 2.7:

• webbrowser
• requests
• json
• base64
• bs4
• fuzzywuzzy

Use

1. Creating the Spotify App

• Go to the Spotify developer dashboard and log into your Spotify account
• Use a meaningful name and description for the app
• Click on Edit Settings and add http://localhost:8000 to Redirect URIs
• Copy your username and client credentials into secrets.py

2. Getting the Authorization Code

• Spin up a local server using python -m SimpleHTTPServer
• Run python auth.py from a separate Terminal window, which will open a new tab in your default browser
• Copy the authorization code from the URL (http://localhost:8000/?code=AUTHORIZATION_CODE) of the new tab into secrets.py

3. Getting the Access and Refresh Tokens

• Run python access.py, which automatically fetches the access and refresh codes and copies them into secrets.py

4. Manually Refreshing the Access and Refresh Tokens

• Run python refresh.py, which automatically updates the access code and copies it into secrets.py

5. Syncing the Playlists

• Copy the share URLs for all playlists you want to sync to playlists.txt
• Run python sync.py, which automatically syncs your Apple Music and Spotify playlist to the best of a machine's ability

NOTE: You only need to generate the authorization code and access token once. On all subsequent calls to sync.py, the access token is automatically updated.

Limitations

• Currently Spotify's API only supports getting a maximum of 100 tracks from a playlist. This will lead to sync issues with longer playlists.
• Spotify's search doesn't work with some song names (like :) by LIL PHAG, MOD SUN & Dr. Woke).
