Playify Transfer

Transfers Spotify playlists to Google Play Music. It is an addition to Playify.

Setup

Before you start...

You need to allow "less secure apps" to access your account. You can enable this in your account settings.

If you have two-factor authentication enabled (which you should!), you need to create a password for "less secure apps". Go to the App Passwords on your account settings. Click on "Select apps", choose "Other" and name it something you like - Playify would sound nice. It will output a new password you will need to use with Playify (your email stays the same).

Windows (pre-built)

Download the latest release (standalone version) and unzip it. Firstly, open password.exe and set a password. Without setting a password, the Transfer app will not start. You will need the password later. Then open playify-transfer.exe.

Now open a playlist link. You can take this one for testing. Click on the red transfer icon in the bottom right corner to begin the transfer progress.

Transfer needs to run everytime you need to transfer a playlist. If you wish it runs always by default, right-click playify-transfer-invisible.exe and select "Create shortcut". Press Win + R, type in shell:startup and press enter. A explorer window will open. Now copy the created shortcut into this folder, double click it and it will always be running.

Linux, Mac OS and Windows

Windows users should prefer the pre-built way of installing. You can use this if you already have Python installed.

Download Python 3. Once downloaded and installed, download the latest release (source code) and unzip it. Open a terminal in the folder where the files are located and enter:

$ pip install gmusicapi
$ pip install websocket_server
$ python password.py

Now set a password.

$ python playify-transfer.py

Transfer should now be running and you can start moving playlists in Playify.

This setup needs only to be done once. When using Transfer again, just type python playify-transfer.py.
