Get Songs from a Google Play Music playlist

README.md

Retrieving songs from a Playlist on Google Play Music

Here's a script that you can load into the Google Chrome debug window that, when called, will copy the current playlist to the clipboard.

Simply do the following:

• Navigate (and authenticate) to Google Play Music
• Go to your desired playlist
• Open the debug window by pressing F12
• Paste the script into the console window
• Run the getCurrentPl method
• Open Excel (or any text editor; the values are tab separated)
• Press CTRL+V or Paste command from the menu

This was tested to be working today, 4 March 2019.

CopySongsToClipboard.js

var copyToClipboard = function(strToCopy) {
	var el = document.createElement('textarea');
	el.value = strToCopy;
	document.body.appendChild(el);
	el.select();
	document.execCommand('copy');
	document.body.removeChild(el);
}

var getCurrentPl = function() {
	var plTitle = document.getElementsByTagName('h2')[0].innerText;
	var songRows = document.getElementsByTagName("table")[0].getElementsByTagName("tr");
	var totalContent = plTitle + '\r\n';
	for(var i = 2; i < songRows.length - 1; i++) {
		var songElements = songRows[i].getElementsByTagName("td");
		var title = songElements[1].innerText;
		var artist = songElements[3].innerText;
		var album = songElements[4].innerText;
		
		totalContent += title + '\t' + artist + '\t' + album + '\r\n';
	}
	copyToClipboard(totalContent);
	console.log('Complete!');
