Hello, thank you for providing this excellent API and the brilliant documentation.

I came across a track that appears as type 'Single' on resultType 'album'. There is no videoId. There is a browseId but that can't be used to add the track to a playlist. You can add this via the web interface.

How could I add this to a playlist using your API?

Thanks

You can get the audioPlaylistId using get_album and add the album to a playlist using the source_playlist parameter of add_playlist_items.

Thanks. In case others find it useful, I have implemented your suggestion here: https://github.com/Praful/music-playlist-export-import/blob/main/src/youtube_music_import.py.

There are also scripts to export playlists from Spotify (using spotipy) and scraping playlists from the BBC website.
