ChatGPT Playlist Assistant

Hello, music lovers and coders alike! 👋🎶

Are you tired of the endless copy-and-paste marathon just to curate your dream playlist? Worried about developing a "Repetitive Stress Injury" from all that clicking and typing? (Okay, that might be a stretch, but you get the point!) Well, you've come to the right place! This script was inspired by my own lazy... I mean, efficient... desires to build YouTube playlists using the wondrous powers of ChatGPT, minus the carpal tunnel.

This script is designed to streamline the creation of YouTube playlists with a little help from our friend, ChatGPT. Instead of manually copying and pasting song IDs like a 19th-century telegraph operator, why not let this handy tool do the heavy lifting?

Features

• Update YouTube Playlists with minimal manual effort.
• Avoid unnecessary strain on your delicate, human hands.
• Impress your friends with your impeccable music taste (and your coding skills).

Sample Prompts for ChatGPT

Here is a sample prompt that will cause ChatGPT to generate a list of songs and a comma-separated list

List ten songs about a sunny day as a numbered list. Then get me YouTube music IDs for those songs and print them as a comma-separated list in a code block so they can be easily copied.

Once ChatGPT provides the list, it will be in a code block format, making it easy for you to copy and paste directly into the script:

Requirements

Before you dive in, make sure you've got:

• Python installed on your machine (preferably Python 3.8+).
• A virtual environment up and running (to keep things clean).

  python -m venv .venv
  source .venv/bin/activate

• The ytmusicapi library is installed within that environment.

  pip install ytmusicapi

• The download or clone the project.

  git clone https://github.com/kellyjanderson/YTMGPT.git

• Make playlist,py executable

  chmod +x playlist.py

• Update the shebang in playlsit.py to point at your python interpreter

  sed -i '' '1s|.*|#!'"$(pwd)"'/.venv/bin/python|' your_script.py

• Optionally add the project directory to your path

bash: shell echo 'export PATH="./:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc zsh: shell echo 'export PATH="./:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

• A love for music.

  🎶💞

Usage

```shell
playlist.py
# when run without parameters it runs interactively which makes it easy to paste the list into the script.

playlist.py <playlistID> <path>

# Parameters:
# <playlistID>: The YouTube Music playlist ID.
# <path>: The path to a file containing a comma-separated list of YouTube Music video IDs.

# Example:
playlist.py PL12345abcdefg /path/to/video_ids.txt
```
