YouTube Music Playlist Updater

This script allows you to automatically add songs from a CSV file to a YouTube Music playlist.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.7+
  • Poetry for dependency management

Setup

  1. Clone the Repository

    git clone https://github.com/ChrisNourse/YouTube-Music-Playlist-Loader.git

  2. Set up the Python environment with Poetry

    poetry install

oauth.json

To use the ytmusicapi, you'll need to authenticate via a oauth.json file.

To generate oauth.json, follow the instructions on the ytmusic documentation:
https://ytmusicapi.readthedocs.io/en/stable/setup/index.html

songs.csv

The CSV file should be formatted as follows:

Artist,Song
Queen,Bohemian Rhapsody
The Beatles,Let It Be
... and so on

Ensure there are no extra spaces or lines.

Usage

  1. Prepare your songs.csv as described above.

  2. Run the script:

    playlistLoader.py

  3. If you haven't provided a playlist URL in the code, you will be prompted to enter it when you run the script.

  4. The script will read songs from the CSV, search for them on YouTube Music, and add them to the specified playlist.

    • If there's an artist mismatch, you'll be prompted to choose among the search results or skip the song.

Notes

  • The script checks if a song is already in the playlist before attempting to add it.
  • Ensure you handle the oauth.json with care, as it contains sensitive data.
