alexknowshtml sync-spotify
Sync all Spotify playlists from an Exportify zip export into the local database.
When to Use
- User has exported all their Spotify playlists via Exportify
- User wants to do the initial bulk import
- User wants to update existing playlists with new tracks
How to Export from Spotify
- Go to https://exportify.net
- Log in with Spotify
- Click "Export All" to download a zip of all playlists as CSVs
- Each CSV contains: track name, artist, album, duration, Spotify audio features, and more
Running the Sync
spoti-bye sync --zip=~/Downloads/spotify_playlists.zip
Or if already unzipped:
spoti-bye sync --dir=/path/to/csv/folder
Add --dry-run to preview changes without writing to the DB.
What It Does
- New playlists: imported with all tracks and metadata
- Updated playlists: rebuilt with new track list; YouTube IDs are preserved (they live on the
songstable, not the playlist) - Unchanged playlists: sync timestamp updated only
- Missing playlists: flagged in output but not deleted
After Syncing
Run the resolver to find YouTube video IDs:
spoti-bye list # find playlist IDs
spoti-bye resolve --playlist=<id> --threshold=5
