Playlist Saving

[Sadra-Es]

Hello , Is there a way to save your playlists songs and artists automaticcally to a word type format?

[Bittencourt]

Hi, @Sadra-Es, sure there is!

Just select the songs you want on your desktop app and drag them to Word or any other text editor app 🙂

[Sadra-Es]

Sorry Didnt Work for me

[Bittencourt]

Well, it should have worked.

When you try, do you get any error message?

In the image attached, I´ve done it - selected all the songs in a playlist and dragged them into Text Edit.

I dont have a mac, and i coulnt find textedit for windows , all i got was these , and none of them worked for me,

[Bittencourt]

You should get these links when you do CTRL+C on the playlist and CTRL+V on any text editor like Word.

The way to get the song names is to drag the selection, have you tried this?

[Sadra-Es]

yeah tried million times , still nothing happens.

Hi @Sadra-Es!

You can use a third-party app called IFTT that you may connect Spotify to Google Drive to create either a document similar to MS Word or even a spreadsheet (whatever your heart desires!) I outlined how to create specifically what you were looking to do below but you can skip ahead to the link at the bottom for a similar pre made method.

IFTT is an app available for iOS and in the Google Play App Store.
Here's the link for the iOS app: IFTT iOS App

1. Once you download the app, create an account - it's free and quick! And no I don't work for them or have any affiliation - just love this app it's so useful for everything ha)
2. After downloaded and signed into your account on the app - click the settings button (looks like a small gear) towards in the upper left hand corner.
3. From the 'Settings' screen click on 'Services' (it's the 3rd from the top option)
4. Either scroll down or use the search filter to type 'Spotify' and only 1 service should appear which is - Spotify! It's got the familiar green logo and branding to easily find while scrolling too.
5. Click the box for 'Spotify' to connect your account to IFTT. You will be prompted to login and give access to the app which if you agree to their terms as a third-party etc then click allow and continue to finish connecting to your account.
6. For the sake of this example I used Google Drive to collect my playlist data so repeat the same steps as you did to connect Spotify except this time look for "Google Drive" which once connected will allow the app to access documents, spreadsheets, and everything else Google Drive has available.
7. Once the 2 services have been connected, go to the bottom of the screen and click the bottom right button "My Applets" - this screen is likely blank if you just created your account but no worries! 
8. Click the plus sign located in the top right corner to add a new "Applet" (essentially as the app is named If This Then That - IFTT - which you can create a set of events that triggers a result allowing you to integrate several commonly used services which usually never could and do so much more with all your devices and everything!)
9. Once you're on the Applet Maker page - begin by clicking the blue "this" button a plus sign on the left of it. It will take you to a new page where you'll search for the service you would like to use as a trigger - which for this it's Spotify. Click Spotify once you've found the box for it.
10. Now you need to choose a trigger and this is where your preferences come into play and depends on what your goal in the end is with this and other factors. You can either choose the trigger to be:
• New saved track
• New track added to playlist
11. You specificed saving a playlist in your question - so click "new track added to playlist" 
12. Specify which playlist in your account you would like to save information about specifically from the drop down list created according to your Spotify account. Click next.
13. Now you should be back at the original applet maker page, this time click the blue "that" button with a blue plus sign to the left of it.
14. For the sake of this example - I'm using Google drive to save my playlist info onto a document. Using the same directions as when you added Spotify to be your trigger action, search or scroll to find Google Drive and select it.
15. Youre then given options - if you'd like to add the playlist's song information to a document click "Append to a document" where it will add new songs are added to that playlist and it will be in 1 document or if you'd like it to be organized in a spreadsheet click "Add row to spreadsheet" (both which you can tailor to your specific needs even further next step)
16. 1st select the spreadsheet/document name - both options will create a new document/spreadsheet if you don't already use a name which exists in your Google Drive
17. 2nd select what information and how it will be formatted in the document/spreadsheet row - note that with all these options there's a pop up when you click in the text boxes that says Ingredients which is a huge help in making sure you have the correct input format for your incoming data and also in knowing what options you have of info to add to your document/spreadsheet row
18. 3rd check the name of the Drive folder pathway (it will create IFTT/Spotify unless otherwise changed)
19. Click Next and then if you'd like to change the title (click edit title below in the lower right hand corner of the box) and if you want to know when the Applet runs or for use in testing to make sure its running correct - make sure the "receive notifications when this Applet runs" is toggled on (green) and click Finish!

For an easy way to see how this can work without creating your own Applet - you can use this pre-made Applet that allows you to keep your Discovery Weekly Archive playlists from each previous week (as they're updated weekly and the week before is essentially lost) as a spreadsheet with all the song's info - it's called (link below):

@Sadra-Es

Hello:

If you have a newer Windows based system, download and install Open Office: https://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html Once the open office suite is installed on your system, open the program and launch the text document feature.

Now use the Select All option with the Spotify desktop app of the tracks in your Spotify playlist you wish to copy the songs from, and making sure the text document of open office is open, you need to move your mouse pointer by dragging all selected tracks from the playlist that are highlighted, also make sure to move your mouse pointer on top of the open office icon on the taskbar, this is important to do, as this will bring the text document of open office program to the forefront of all other programs open on the desktop, and now you should be able drop those dragged songs into the blank text document, and the song and artist names should display correctly. If one just copies and pastes these highlighted tracks from Spotify playlists using the desktop app, doing this will just copy the song HTML source links instead into text documents. Doing a drag and drop into a word type text document, this keeps the names of the song and artist titles intact, and turns them into word hyperlinks from the HTML source link on the Spotify service.

Just noticed this later post. You have more than one Spotify account correct? A facebook Spotify created account and also a Spotify account you set up with just an email address?
