Its my first attempt at both Angular and using Spotify's APIs. So its probably buggy. It also desperately needs UI / UX work. A link is provided to my public GitHub repo if you'd like to contribute, or even log bugs 🙂
I've tested the tool with 250+ songs and its able to import them in roughly 30 seconds. I suspect it will work with larger playlists. However, I'm not entirely sure what will happen since most processing is done in memory (in the browser). Also, I've only used Chrome, so please let me know how it runs on other browsers.
Last but not least, the tool requires that you grant it the ability to modify / create public playlists for your account ("playlist-modify-public" scope, for the techie folk).
Enjoy and ride those electro waves!
Hey nick_wanders,
Awesome Work.. Nailed It..

I've updated the tool to include a "more" button. When clicked a dialog will appear allowing you to search for related songs. Clicking a related song replaces it in the displayed playlist. The import process will then use the related song.
This helps resolve unknown or mismatched songs.
Enjoy 🙂
Hi I've tried to upload a list but it seems to just not like some of the language in it. I tested it with some artists and it would let the csv import only if some of the artist was deleted etc. Although the idea is awesome, there seems to be a mystery as to what it likes and doesn't like. Could you please shed some light on that?
Cheers 🙂
I sadly copied and pasted a list of 7k songs off the internet and it didn't work at all. I made some fixes to the format so I thought I would share it.
so if you find yourself nin a bind make sure the following are being met.
1. You have named two top cells title and artist
2. remove accent marks -unless you know macro there is no easy way to do it just find and replace. (Excel doesn't save CSV files without them unfortunately) - these are "(á, é, í, ó, ú, ü, ñ ..." - band names like motley crue have them in there.
2a. Fina and replace with nothing. make sure there are no punctuation marks, like ! or . or ' or anything like that.
3. there are no trail spaces in the title or artist (The space after the last letter), if you find yourself with them - run this code =TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(*CELL*,CHAR(160),CHAR(32))) - *CELL* i.e B3 or A2 is the target cell. This removes the trailing space that is formed when coping and pasting from a table on the net.
if it still says invalid, start with testing line by line, you will soon see what it likes or doesn't like.
Once its loaded, it wont find any artists that have 'featuring' or 'and' or 'ft'... so you have to remove everything including and after those works- excel has some excellent formulas for this back on your s/sheet. (Sorry if you are a hip hop fan)
try this: and put the words inside the " " marks
=LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1)
*disclaimer you will have to rin the trail space formula again after you are done.
Hey man, this is bad ass.
I thought I was pretty scre*ed when GPM finally went offline. I managed to grab my data and put together a script to merge Google's ridiculous CSV format into a single file per playlist, but I couldn't do anything with it because none of the services out there supported any kind of local file import. I waited too long to work on this problem and it was too late to use the transfer tool I had.
I was basically scre*ed till I came across your tool. I managed to import 700+ songs and only 100 of them failed due to weirdo naming formats and unusual characters, but the way you have an option to change the search parameters in a popup and refine the query, *and* hear a preview is awesome.
I think I got my whole favs playlist sorted thanks to your tool.
I owe you a beer.
Dangum, nice job working around some of the limitations of the tool I wrote 🙂
When I find some time I'll see if I can incorporate your workarounds into the tool. Just be aware that my free time is now limited, hence me taking 3 weeks to respond.
This is amazing, Nick!
I've recently lost my Shazam playlist after following a guide on how to reset a stuck Shazam playlist that was no longer refreshing (spoiler alert: it just ended up deleting my database of Shazamed songs).
All I found online was paid playlist converters so I was super happy to find your script, which identified 1046 of the 1314 songs from my Shazam export and now I have that playlist back almost in full.
Thanks so much for creating this, you made my day!

Thanks a lot 🙂
1456 songs imported over 1631 !
Just to be clear, here are the steps I did to import my songs from Deeezer :
Now how to get the list of title and artist.
If you come from Deezer, here is how.
again, thanks very much.
I bought freeyourmusic, and it didn't worked at all, it's a shame. I got refunded in the end.
Thanks so much for making this. Took a bit of jiggling to get rid of all the punctuation and other mystery characters from my file, but I'm so happy now it's done!
Cheers!

Boogie_Harrison, make sure the first row is a header containing columns: TITLE and ARTIST.
