Saving Spotify Playlists
I'm planning on using Zotify to download a couple playlists of music I've added over the years. Before I do that, I'd like to be able to make a copy of the playlists before downloading any music in the off chance my account gets flagged by Spotify.
I would like the playlists be ready to use with other services or music seeking apps like deezer or soulseek. I've tried searching but a lot of results bring up sketchy websites that ask for your Spotify account login and I'm cautious of that.
I'm just doing this as a an extra backup step and hopefully things go smoothly with Zotify.
Blunt force approach: open Spotify in a browser, open the playlist in question, scrape the HTML.
Tune My Music is legit. It is what Deezer uses if you transfer. I think if you do it through Deezer it’s even free: https://www.deezer.com/explore/en-us/features/transfer-playlist/
I bought a sub to this about a year ago, and will probably resub. When finding new music I save it to a playlist, then use tune my music to export it to a csv. Then the csv gets formatted and added to my nicotine config.
haven't had problems with Zotify for downloads when using the download realtime option. spotify also has the option to export your playlists. it's on the web in the account settings I believe? if you have jellyfin as well there's a plugin that pulls directly from the site as well

I am having only issues with zotify on windows, randomly hit or miss, and like 90% miss.
dam yeah I guess it's best on Linux then
Woah awesome! Was not aware of this one, thanks 🌻
I've used Exportify (https://github.com/watsonbox/exportify) to get CSVs of my playlists. I do it for kind of disaster recovery scenario, so I've never actually had to re-import my playlists. Judging from the readme it seems it's possible but tedious. And as for importing to a different service, no idea.
It does require you to log in with your Spotify account though. But I think it's trustworthy enough and also you can self host it.
I've recently had succes with Soundbound, made by the creator of Spotiflyer.
I did a data takeout and got a legitimate definition of all my playlists, why don't you start with that? Perhaps its not available in all geos?

I found this one a while back for the purpose of having a local copy of what I've put in my playlists. https://github.com/caseychu/spotify-backup
I’ve used SongShift before to transfer playlists between music services. Looks like it can also export them to a file.
