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!

• Lookups are performed using the super-efficient Spotify Web API
• SQLite is used as a caching layer so that URIs will only be requested once, which allows you to regularly back up large playlists

• Ruby 1.9.3 (or higher?)
• Bundler
• ActiveRecord
• RSpec
• SQLite3 and a working SQLite binary

• bundle install

• I haven't tried this on Ruby 2.0 yet.
