liberate-spotify

Transfer Spotify albums and followed artists from one account to another.

For example, pull information from an account locked to Facebook and dump it into a new account tied to just an email address. This is all necessary since Spotify makes it apparently impossible to de-facebookify an account.

Steps:

1. Log into spotify.com with the original account.

2. Generate an API token with access to the scopes user-follow-read and user-library-read from, e.g., https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/console/put-following/#complete. Write the token down as READ_AUTH_TOKEN.

3. Log out of spotify.com with the old account.

4. Make new account at spotify.com and log in

5. Generate an API token with access to the scopes user-follow-modify and user-library-modify from, e.g., https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/console/put-following/#complete. Write the token down as MODIFY_AUTH_TOKEN.

6. Clone this repo:

   git clone https://github.com/gbrammer/liberate-spotify.git

7. Put the API tokens you generated in the top few lines of transfer.py.

8. Run it!

import transfer transfer.run_transfer()

  *NB:* The album transfer can take a while because a small pause is inserted before each album import to preserve the "added order" of the album list.
