Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/1176

The "--m3u" command will output a playlist as a .m3u8 file which iTunes cannot read.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to output an iTunes readable playlist file to easily transfer Spotify playlists to a phone.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I've tried to change the config.json file, but I have minimal coding experience.
This is as far as I got:
"m3u_output": "{title}\t{artists}\t{album}\t{genre}\t{duration}\t{disc-number}\t{disc-count}\t{track-number}\t{tracks-count}\t{year}\t{output-ext}"
I don't know how to add a header row or output as .txt file (without manually changing the extension).

Thanks for considering.

Spotipy doesn't offer such a feature. Are you trying to program this yourself?

I’m asking for a new feature and Yes, meanwhile I am attempting to program/customize it myself.

Also, my apologies. I thought I was on spotdl’s github page.

Alright then, but I'm going to have to close this issue. Spotipy is a library, not a CLI or similar.
