This is a simple Python script that uses the Unofficial-Google-Music-API to sync local XSPF or M3U format playlists to Google Music. For M3U playlists, the song info is determined by the song metadata so only MP3, FLAC, M4A, and MP4 formats are supported.
This script makes use of the Unofficial-Google-Music-API to interface with Google Music. To use it, you'll need to get to gmusicapi module from https://github.com/simon-weber/Unofficial-Google-Music-API. After cloning, run python setup.py build and then sudo python setup.py install.
Note that the gmusicapi changes often breaking this script. If this happens feel free to open an issue or submit a pull request fixing compatibility.
Once the GoogleMusicAPI is installed, just run the playlist sync script like any other Python script. It will guide you through logging in and syncing songs.
If you use two-step authentication with your Google account, you can store your application specific key in a file called "pass.txt" in the same directory as the script. You should ONLY store an application specific key here. Storing your real password in plain text is a horrible idea. Granted, so is storing an app-specific key, so type it in each time if you want.
usage: google-music-playlist-sync.py [-h] [-u [USER]] [-r [ROOT_DIR]] playlists [playlists ...] positional arguments: playlists The filenames of playlists. optional arguments: -h, --help Show this help message and exit -u [USER], --user [USER] The Google username/email to log in with. -r [ROOT_DIR], --root-dir [ROOT_DIR] The root directory of a music directory. Useful for M3U playlists.
