sync-spotify

Sync all Spotify playlists from an Exportify zip export into the local database.

When to Use

• User has exported all their Spotify playlists via Exportify
• User wants to do the initial bulk import
• User wants to update existing playlists with new tracks

How to Export from Spotify

1. Go to https://exportify.net
2. Log in with Spotify
3. Click "Export All" to download a zip of all playlists as CSVs
4. Each CSV contains: track name, artist, album, duration, Spotify audio features, and more

Running the Sync

spoti-bye sync --zip=~/Downloads/spotify_playlists.zip

Or if already unzipped:

spoti-bye sync --dir=/path/to/csv/folder

Add --dry-run to preview changes without writing to the DB.

What It Does

• New playlists: imported with all tracks and metadata
• Updated playlists: rebuilt with new track list; YouTube IDs are preserved (they live on the songs table, not the playlist)
• : sync timestamp updated only
