OK… I’m using Groove. Don’t know why I paid the annual subscription, perhaps I had grand plans to sync up my music lists to a single platform and decided to give it a chance. Oh well… Microsoft just killed it.
Anyways, I’ve been collecting some songs over the past couple of years, and before I forget what they are, I thought I would export the list, only to find out that Groove only supports exporting to Spotify, well I don’t know what music service I’m planning on moving to, but it *might* not be Spotify, so I need to figure out how to export my list now.
I tried getting an Groove Music API, key, but Microsoft shutdown the service, I also tried another online service, but they wanted to charge a monthly fee. I did figure out that I can download my playlist locally to my machine. The files will be DRM protected, but I can use the file names to generate a playlist. How? Powershell to the rescue!
IF you would like to create a list, open up a powershell.exe command prompt and run the following command (Single line):

This command will download the powershell script from GitHub, execute, and export to a file called MyGrooveList.csv on your desktop. ( or replace desktop with downloads, whatever).
Then you can open the MyGrooveList.csv file in Excel and import later.
Here is the full script:
