Worked in a pinch! The YouTube Music export skipped so many songs, and this will help me restore the missing items manually. Thanks!
As Scott Bishop said, currently the proces keeps hanging and trying to export a 95-song playlist resulted in an endless amount of csv files generated. The web console showed 'parsing complete' well over a 1000 times and it just kept rising while Windows was showing me a dialog for every single csv .. had to kill Chrome.
Worked great. Read the instructions for larger playlists.
I'd highly recommend avoiding this extension. My attempt to use it resulted in Chrome locking up for about half an hour while attempting to download nearly 300 individual csv files for an 188 song playlist, so that was fun.
Seemed to work fine generating the csv, but when importing to Spotify i got an error that it didn't recognize/couldn't find ANY of the 841 songs in my playlist. Rad.
Doesn't appear to work in the latest Chrome
My playlist has 2016 songs in it. The extension created quickly created over 700 files on my disk and I had to find and terminate the process in the Chrome task manager to stop it. Someone less IT-knowledgeable than I might have not been able to stop it. This extension should have a clear warning or not be available for installation.
Disable ad blockers and popup blockers on the Play site before running. I tried to capture my list of over 300 songs several times, and was not successful until I disabled all of the blockers I have enabled. Then it worked GREAT! Thanks for a awesome extension Maxwell!
I've lost playlists in the past and was looking something to use as a backup as i have put hours of time into my new road trip playlist. The extension is bit different to use but did the job as advertised, now i don't have the panic of losing all my songs. Thank you very much developer, it's a shame you had to create this due to being a lacking feature in GPM, but very well done for beating google to it.
Excellent, just what I was after
Worked exactly as I needed. Just middle mouse wheeled to set an autoscroll, and kept my hands off my mouse and keyboard for a bit. Successfully pulled all songs on my 979 song long Thumbs Up autoplaylist. Thanks!
Great, but has 1 issue: if album has "#" in its name, the extension stops it job on that song. Hotfix: move all songs with "#" in names to the end of the playlist :)
