Music backup

Backup playlists and liked songs from Spotify

Features:

  • Backs up liked songs
    • Keeps order of liked songs
  • Backs up albums
  • Backs up playlists (followed, collaborative and created)
    • Re-follows playlists on restore
    • Recreates collaborative and created playlists
  • Backs up followed artists
  • Backs up list of people in your blends
    • CAVEAT: Blends with more than a certain amount of people will only have "X others" instead of all member names
  • Maintains a git repository of your songs at backup/. Can optionally push to a remote

Note: Until spotify approves an application for this app's client ID, you will have to use your own client ID, which you can generate by going to https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/applications, and then substituting into the beginning of main.py

Usage

Install dependencies:

poetry install

Then run:

poetry run python src/main.py

To automatically backup (in a script, on a schedule...):

poetry run python src/main.py --backup

To get only a specific playlist

poetry run python src/main.py --backup --playlist <name of playlist>

To get decade-distribution for any file

poetry run python src/main.py --file <path to file>

Time taken

Quick restore causes liked songs to lose order. Playlists are always ordered correctly.

(Times given are estimates)

Operation Liked Songs Playlists Albums Arists
Backup 120 songs/s 120 songs/s 120 albums/s 120 artists/s
Restore 1 song/s 120 songs/s 120 albums/s 120 artists/s
Quick Restore 120 songs/s 120 songs/s 120 albums/s 120 artists/s
Clean Library 120 songs/s 2.5 playlists/s 120 albums/s 120 artists/s

The total time taken to perform any of these operations is the sum of each type of item in your library divided by its respective speed

Backwards compatibility

If you have an old backup.json, rename it to liked-songs.json and place it under a new directory, backup
