gpm2spotify - A simple Google Play Music to Spotify Library Migrator!

These scripts migrate your Thumbs Up tracks from Google Play Music to Spotify. It's free, and your credentials stay with you!

Feel free to make whatever changes you'd like, based on how Google and Spotify decide to upgrade their APIs.

Uses simon-weber's gmusicapi (https://github.com/simon-weber/gmusicapi) and plamere's spotipy (https://github.com/plamere/spotipy)

What do these scripts do?

These scripts use wrappers for Spotify and GPM Web APIs to access and modify your libraries.

gpm.py fetches your GPM library and stores it in a file (GPMLibraryParsed.txt). spotify.py reads this file, searches for that track on Spotify, and adds it to your Liked Songs list and a playlist of your liking. To enable this, you simply have to create a new app on a Spotify Developer account, and use it to access Spotify's Web API.

Instructions

• Download and install Python from https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/Download, and follow the appropriate instructions based on your system.

  • Make sure that you select the "Add Python 3.7 to Path" Option
  • Complete your installation
  • Open a terminal (PowerShell/Command Prompt/bash) and enter the following command to check if Python has been installed properly: python -V; if your Python version is 3.7.2 or higher, you're good to go.
  • Update pip: python -m pip install --upgrade pip

• Install these packages required for our scripts to work:

  pip install spotipy
  pip install gmusicapi

• Download Config.txt, gpm.py and spotify.py and put them into a folder.

• Next, we want to register our script as an application on a Spotify Developer account. This will help us use Spotify's Web API.

  • Go to https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/
  • Log in using your Spotify credentials
  • Accept T&Cs
  • Create an app
  • Enter an App Name and App Description (use any name & description, it's irrelevant to the procedure)
  • Check all the prerequisite boxes & accept T&C
  • Click Edit Settings
  • Add "http://localhost:8080/" to the Redirect URI section
  • Copy Client ID and Client Secret to Config.txt
  • Go to "https://www.spotify.com/in/account/overview/" and copy your username to Config.txt

• We've also got to make sure that your Google Play Music libraries are accessible to the scripts. Head to https://myaccount.google.com/security and follow these steps:

  • Scroll down to the Signing in to Google section and make sure that 2-Step Verification is enabled.
  • After enabling 2-Step Verification, go back to the Signing in to Google section and click on App passwords.
  • Under the Select the app and device you want to generate the app password for area, click the Select app dropdown, select Other (custom name), enter any name into the next box, click the Generate button and note down the 16-character app password that shows up.

• Open a terminal in the location where you've downloaded the .py scripts, and run them as follows:

  • Execute python gpm.py and follow instructions. Make sure you log in with your Google Account email and the 16-character App password that you'd noted down before. This should create a file GPMLibraryParsed.txt containing your Google Play Music Thumbs Up tracks, with each line describing <Artist> <Song Title>
  • Execute python spotify.py and follow instructions. It will ask you to provide a URL to your playlist where it can add all the songs it has pulled from GPM. Create a playlist, and copy its URL which may look like this: "https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2v3egqg2ONyDTJOL1aHun9". This will import all songs from GPMLibraryParsed.txt, look up each song on Spotify and add the ones it finds to your library. It also spits out a list of the songs that it couldn't find, possibly due to incorrect name parsing (for which you could manually edit the entries in GPMLibraryParsed.txt), or the songs simply do not exist in Spotify's libraries.

That's it. Sit back and enjoy your library being populated! Yay!
