YouTube Music: Copy liked music to a playlist

CopyLikes.md

I was looking for a way to copy my "likes" in YouTube music over to a playlist, in the hopes of stopping YTM from losing songs I have liked. I found this script, but it didn't work for me, so I had to look for other solutions. In the end, this is what worked for me.

It's a small Python script that uses the YTMusic python library to copy tracks from my likes to a new playlist. I will try to outline the steps to run the script, but this will assume some familiarity with Python.

Hopefully this will work for others as well!

from ytmusicapi import YTMusic

yt = YTMusic('oauth.json')
playlistId = yt.create_playlist('My Playlist', "Some Description - leave blank if you want need one")
songs = yt.get_liked_songs(5000) # get 5000 liked songs, this is the maximum playlist size
videoIds = map(lambda x: x['videoId'], songs['tracks']) # convert the tracks into a list of "videoId"s
videoIds = [*set(list(videoIds))] # remove duplicate videoIds
yt.add_playlist_items(playlistId, videoIds = videoIds, duplicates = False) # add all of the videoIds to the new playlist

Steps to Run

1. cd /tmp
2. copy the script above into /tmp/copy_likes.py
3. pip install ytmusicapi
4. ytmusicapi oauth - follow the prompts, copy the URL to a browser and authenticate with your Google account to grant access
5. python /tmp/copy_likes.py
6. rm oauth.json - this file grants access to your YTM account, so be sure to nuke it when you are finished

are you the Top G?

it does the work but songs gets shuffled in the created playlist.

To get it as it is:

use this
use oauth.json instead of headers_auth.json
and increase the liked song counter from 500 to your desires num

naaah man, im fine with the original script. again bro ur the best!!!
