Exporting liked songs

[pitastrudl]

Hi, I didnt find in the output a csv with my liked songs, is this supported? Is there any limitation in the API for this?

Last I knew, spotify treats your liked songs differently. They're not a playlist. Feel free to dig around the web API for an elegant way to query for such songs and to make them a line in the table. Better yet, code it and open a pull request. I believe I removed this from the original code because the capability was broken for any reasonably large number of liked songs, and it really felt like an inelegant addendum in the code, and I didn't like having to treat liked songs differently.

If you are desperate to export liked songs, you can always create a playlist, add all liked songs to it, export that, and then delete the temporary playlist.

Thanks for the quick reply. I solved it by exporting the liked songs to a playlist. Short term solution.

You're welcome. I'll leave this issue open because it should maybe be addressed, but I'm unlikely to get to it in any reasonable amount of time.

This issue has been solved in https://github.com/caseychu/spotify-backup. It shouldn't be to hard to port it here. I'll take a stab at a PR this weekend.

Let me know if you need any help interpreting my javascript.

Will this issue be solved in this century?
