Spotify Restore Saved Albums

spotify-restore-saved-albums is a CLI tool that helps restoring saved albums from liked songs, similar to the behavior pre June 2019 update.

WARNING use this at your own risk! This might removed ALL your saved albums. The author takes no responsibility for unexpected results.

Behavior

  • Lookup ALL saved tracks
  • Crate playlist with ALL saved tracks called 'srsa backup'
  • Remove ALL existing saved albums
  • Go through ALL saved tracks and save each associated unique album in order of oldest saved tracks first, newest saved tracks last.
Note because the public save album API adds all tracks of the album to saved tracks, the tool has to repeat looking up all saved tracks, which now includes all original saved tracks plus all album tracks. To restore the original saved tracks it deletes all saved track that are not part of the original saved tracks.

Going forward if you want all your saved tracks to show up in the albums section, remember to always save both the tracks you are interested in AND the album.

Side effects:

  • ALL saved albums without saved tracks are lost
  • Added at time is updated to now for ALL saved tracks
