This program will use requests and beautiful soup to parse out the name and artist from a publicly visible Apple Music playlist.
This is useful to take the data from this program to create playlists for Spotify, Youtube and others. Would love to find something that 
will take this information and generate a Youtube playlist that's easier to share with folks that do not have a music streaming subscription.
