Description

Let's convert a Spotify playlist into plain text!

1. Open Spotify and go to the playlist that you want to export
2. Select the tracks that you want to export (Ctrl-A or Cmd-A to Select All)
3. Right-click on the selected tracks and choose "Copy Spotify URI" from the menu
4. Go to the text editor of your choice and Paste
5. Save the file
6. Run ./bin/spotify-export.rb your-filename.txt

Running the command on the included spec/support/multiple-tracks.txt test file will produce the following output:

1. Illusions -- Shout Out Louds -- Optica (Bonus Track Version)
2. My Number -- Foals -- Holy Fire
3. Love to Get Used -- Matt Pond -- The Lives Inside The Lines In Your Hand
4. Clouds -- Rangleklods -- Beekeeper (incl. Home EP)
5. Kelly -- When Saints Go Machine -- Konkylie

Listening to the songs might be fun too.

Enjoy!
