Import your Spotify playlist to Apple Music for free using Python!
The first step is getting the songs you want to import into Apple Music into a CSV file. The simplest way to do this is to use Exportify.
You just need to login using your Spotify account, and all the playlists that you have saved in your library should appear. Then export the CSV file of the playlist you want to convert and save it in the same directory as the directory where you cloned the repo.
To upload your converted IDs to an Apple Music playlist, you'll need 5 things:
- The list of Apple Music identifiers (iTunes identifiers) for each song in your Spotify playlist
- Your Apple Music Authorization (Bearer Token)
- Your Apple Music Media-User-Token
- Your session cookies
Here's a step by step to get all of this data:
-
To get the list of Apple Music identifiers, all you got to do is get the file you downloaded from Exportify.
-
You can get all the other data using your favorite browser. Fire it up and open the Apple Music web player.
-
Open DevTools (Ctrl + Shift + I or Cmd + Opt + I) and go to the Network tab.
-
Then you'll need to log in to your account. If you're already logged in, please log out and log in again.
-
Go back to the DevTools and look for a GET request to https://buy.music.apple.com/account/web/info (It seems like there are 2 requests to this URL; it should be the second one).
-
In the Requests Headers, copy the Authorization (Please make sure to copy the
Bearerpart), the Media-User-Token and the Cookies.ALL THIS DATA IS CASE SENSITIVE. PLEASE MAKE SURE TO COPY IT RIGHT.
-
Now you're finally ready to connvert your songs and push them onto your Apple Music playlist. To do so, open a terminal and run the following:
python3 convertsongs.py yourplaylist.csvor
python3 convertsongs.py playlistdir (Replace yourplaylist.csv by your own filename, the one you got from Exportify, or playlistdir by your own playlist directory name with all the .csv files you want to convert.)
Follow the script prompt, and when asked, paste in each data. If your terminal have a paste character limit: please hardcode them OR put them into separate files named as following: token.dat, media_user_token.dat and cookies.dat.
Please note that the best practice is to put your connection data as it can be reuse in a near future. Keep in mind that, those connection data will expire and you might need to get them again.
Please note that the current script nneds to be configured with the iTunes StoreFront of your Region. Full list of ISO Code, provided by Wikipedia, here.
The script to retrieve the Apple Music identifier for a Spotify song is quite basic. It simply compares the title, artist, and album name in many different combinations of search terms. The goal is to match an Apple Music song with your Spotify song and then get their iTunes identifier (it's the same as Apple Music identifiers). Some songs don't have the exact same title, artist, or album name (extraneous spacing, for example) in both services. This results in the script failing to retrieve an identifier for some songs. Hopefully, you'll be able to add the missing songs manually thanks to the noresult.txt file.
UPDATE: Starting with version 2.0 the scritp will now first try ot match ISRC of the songs, then (in case of failure of the first method) it will try to match the title, artist and album name. This should help with the matching of the songs and reduce the number of missing songs.
If you're coming from version 1.1 or older, getitunesid.py and addsongs.py has been merged to create convertsongs.py. You can still find the old scripts in the Archive folder. If you need more instructions on how to use the old scripts, the old README is still available here. Please note that the old scripts are not maintained anymore.
