#Export a google music playlist

Why

Export to a text list and use anpother tool (like http://www.playlist-converter.net/#/) to import it to another app (like deezer, spotify.. )

How

Currently export to a simple list format, because that's enough to be supported by http://www.playlist-converter.net/#/.

This script will generate from your playlist page a text like this

title artist
hey joe jimmy hendrix
..

Usage

  1. Use chrome
  2. go to your playlist page
  3. Make sur the whole playlist is visible. If not, unzoom the page (like 50%) until the whole playlist fits in the page, doesn't matter if it's not human readeable anymore. The song that aren't visible won't be exported. If the playlist doesn't fit even with the lower zoom then you'll have to scroll and do it over..
  4. Open console ( Ctrl + alt + j on windows, cmd + option + j on mac)
  5. paste the raw content of genPlaylist.js. Hit Enter.
  6. If it works you should have no error and see printed the number of song exported
  7. The result is copied in your clipboard, paste it in a file to save it.
