Overview
Overview
This project provides a free, open-source alternative to paid music migration services by combining the strengths of Go and Python.
The Go exporter authenticates with Spotify’s OAuth 2.0 API, retrieves all liked songs with pagination handling, and saves them as a structured JSON file.
The Python importer reads the exported JSON, searches YouTube Music for each track, and automatically likes matching songs using the ytmusicapi library.
