SetlistVault
A consumer music archivist that mirrors your Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube Music playlists into a richly-tagged personal vault — full metadata, mood folders, lyrics and art preserved — so your '2019 Summer Indie' survives the next licensing purge.
Music enthusiasts with 5+ years of curated playlists who fear losing their collection
- One-click playlist mirror with full ID3 tags, album art, lyrics and credits preserved

- Migration kits to move between Spotify, Apple, YouTube and Tidal without losing tags
- 'Last seen on streaming' tracker that alerts you when a track disappears from your service
Streaming catalogs shrink constantly due to licensing — millions of tracks vanished in recent Spotify purges — and a 151-star GitHub CLI for exactly this job proves the demand for self-archiving is mainstream, not just power-user.
Multiple 'how to export Spotify' guides (Tuneferry, PlaylistGo, Chosic) and dedicated tools show steady search demand, but the referenced 151-star GitHub repo is a piracy-leaning CLI, not mainstream consumer behavior — the 'mood-folder vault' framing is narrower than the underlying search traffic.How to Export Your Spotify Playlists: Every Method Compared (2026) ↗Spotify has deleted 75m+ tracks in 'spammy' AI music crackdown ↗
Crowded market of established free and paid playlist tools: Soundiiz, FreeYourMusic, TuneMyMusic, Exportify, PlaylistGo, Chosic, Playlisted, ByeByeSpotify — most cover the basic backup/transfer loop, leaving only thin differentiation for a 'vault with mood folders'.Pricing & Plans - Soundiiz ↗Playlisted — Export, Import & Transfer Playlists ↗Export Spotify playlist to CSV or Text - Chosic ↗
Soundiiz and others prove people will pay small subscription/one-time fees for cross-service transfer, but free CSV/JSON exporters (Exportify, Chosic) already cover the archival need; charging premium for mood folders + lyrics + art is a soft upsell on top of a commoditized core.Pricing & Plans - Soundiiz ↗Soundiiz - Transfer playlists and favorites between streaming services ↗
Streaming-vs-ownership tension is permanent and intensifies with every catalog purge
Doable but non-trivial: Spotify Web API works for metadata, but Apple Music lacks a public user-library API and YouTube Music scraping violates ToS; lyrics/art require third-party lookups; storing actual audio raises DMCA risk, so a metadata+art 'vault' is the realistic MVP.Export/Backup Spotify playlists using the Web API - GitHub ↗ByeByeSpotify: Spotify Library Export Tool — Chris Worth ↗
