I didn't want to put this in the New Idea section, as I am not really suggesting a new idea.
I started deleting a lot of the mp3s off of my computer in favor of just listening to the same songs over Spotify. I needed the extra hard drive space because I still have a Windows XP computer.
I have no use for listening to music offline as I only have a desktop computer and can't currently even burn CDs with this lousy PC. I can't afford Spotify Premium anyway and have no devices to listen to it on.
I wanted to know if there was any way to make a backup of the Spotify playlists. I was thinking of a simple playlist file that could be exported to your computer as backup. I have noticed a lot topics on here having to do with playlists accidentally being deleted or disappearing and it has made me nervous. I don't want that to happen to me now that I have begun migrating to Spotify and away from mp3s.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Thanks for writing that app, very handy. I've saved a few of my playlists now as CSV. A few observations:
1. The "starred" playlist doesn't show up. I overcame this by creating a new playlist with the same contents.
2. Not all playlists show up, only the first 10-12 .. ?
Cheers.

Excellent app!
But... receiving this error code in both Chrome and Safari:
"API Rate Limit Exceeded"
Attempting to run on my account which has 1,482 playlists in nested folders.
Thanks!
Hi, unfortunately exportify didn't work for me at all. How do i deauthorize spotify?
As far as I know this isn't possible but the facility may have been added since I last looked for it.
Thanks anyway i think i worked it out by logging out everywhere and changing my pw.
Thanks for writing this, very close to what I need. Any chance you can create one export button that would let me export all of my playlists?
Doh! Thanks!!! LOL
Hi everyone,
Just come across a few programs which are a big help to sorting out the Spotify playlist problems.
First is a free web program to convert between spotify, text, Deezer, Yoitube, M3U, PLS and CSV. The program is playlist converter and the link is http://www.playlist-converter.net/#/
Second is a downloadable converter calles Tunesgo which is similar to playlist converter which I found extremely fast 1378 songs in less than 5 minutes. downside is you need the paid version. Link is https://www.wondershare.com/tunesgo/
Third I got all files in mp3 format as just a single file.and used Magic MP3tagger (NOT MP3tag - different prog) with link http://www.magic-tagger.com/eng/index.php. this program checked all tags and saved the library sorted (in my case ) to Artist - Album - track and again very fast and once started requires no imput.
Finally get everything tagged then exported to CSV and load in excel to have yourself a ball.

This is the best tool I found.
The CSV must be imported to Excel first 🙂
For those who need track length in a useful time format in Excel, just use this formulat to convert milliseconds to mm:ss fomat: =TIME(INT(MOD(G2/(1000*60*60);24));INT(MOD(G2/(1000*60);60));INT(MOD(G2/1000;60)))
G2 is the cell containing the Track Duration. Set the cell format to mm:sss.
I use Exportify, and it's great.

You can also recover deleted playlists here. 🙂
THANK YOU!!! Works like a charm :-))

Wow. Works Fantastic !!! Saved me so much time, çause I had a big playlist on my Facebook-linked account, which (apparently, I found out), was different from my Non-Facebook linked account.
Great way to synchronize playlists.
BTW: I first tried it on Microsoft Edge. It seems to work there, but still hangs. After that I used Chrome, this went fine. *****
Is there some kind of playlist limit or something? It does not appear all my playlist, only a few.

Nope, there is no known limit in our script.
