This script helps convert Spotify playlists to iTunes playlists. It achieves this goal by taking as input a file that contains a list of Spotify HTTP URLs (which point to songs), scrapes the HTML page for song information, and outputs a tab-delimited text file containing the song data. This text file can then be imported into iTunes (with only the songs in your iTunes library showing up in the playlist).
In Spotify, select all songs in a particular playlist (or specifically the songs you want), copy and paste into a text file. You should end up with a list of HTTP URLs. Navigating to one of the URLs should show song information.
Run the script providing the file containing Spotify HTTP URLs using the -f command line parameter and redirect the output to the destination file (it writes the output to stdout).
For example, where starred_tracks.txt contains the Spotify HTTP URLs:
./spotify2itunes.py -f starred_tracks.txt > itunes_playlist.txt
The resulting file itunes_playlist.txt can be used with the iTunes
"Import Playlist" option.
- Python 2.7 or later (may work with previous version, but wasn't tested)
- BeautifulSoup (Python library)
Note that this is subject to breakage if Spotify changes their HTML page layout.
- Handle local file URLs
