Playlist Converter

Overview

This project provides a Python script that automates the process of transferring playlists from Apple Music to Spotify. The script uses Selenium to scrape playlist data from Apple Music and the Spotipy library to create and populate a new playlist on Spotify.

Features

• Headless Scraping: Utilizes Selenium in headless mode to efficiently scrape data from Apple Music.
• Playlist Transfer: Automatically creates a new Spotify playlist and adds the corresponding tracks.
• Error Handling: Notifies if a song cannot be found on Spotify.
• Modular Design: Easy to customize for additional features or different use cases.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8+
• Spotify Developer Account
• Apple Music Account
• Google Chrome and ChromeDriver

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Perry5596/Playlist-Converter.git
   cd apple-music-to-spotify

2. Set up a virtual environment:

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate   # On Windows use `venv\Scripts\activate`

3. Install the dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Set up Spotify API credentials:

   • Create a .env file in the project root and add your Spotify API credentials:

   CLIENT_ID=your_spotify_client_id
   CLIENT_SECRET=your_spotify_client_secret
   

   • Make sure to replace your_spotify_client_id and your_spotify_client_secret with your actual Spotify credentials.

5. Download and set up ChromeDriver:

   • Download ChromeDriver and ensure it matches your Chrome version.
   • Update the path to the ChromeDriver executable in the script:

   service = Service('path/to/your/chromedriver')

Usage

1. Edit the script:

   • Replace the placeholder URL in the script with the Apple Music playlist URL you want to transfer:

   url = 'https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/your_playlist_url_here'

2. Run the script:

   python applemusic_to_spotify.py

3. Check your Spotify account:

   • A new playlist should be created with the transferred songs.
