Lose all of it, or spend days manually recreating it elsewhere. Neither was acceptable, so I built <strong>ByeByeSpotify</strong>: a Python command-line tool that exports your entire library to portable JSON and CSV in one run.</p> <p>I built it in a weekend to solve my own problem. It exported my full library (playlists, liked songs, albums, listening stats) in under 10 minutes. What would have been days of manual recreation became a single command.</p>
