Category: cli-tool

Tags: music-backup, data-export, apple-music

Score: 5.5/10 (Innovation: 4, Technical: 4, Documentation: 8, Utility: 6)

A Python tool that exports Apple Music playlists to JSON by replaying browser sessions, preserving track metadata and ISRC codes for cross-platform migration. It's interesting because it solves a real user pain point (Apple Music library loss during region changes) and provides a practical escape hatch from vendor lock-in.

Target audience: music enthusiasts, data hoarders, users migrating streaming services
