Export an Apple Music playlist to CSV or text

// Responsive Muse · Apple Music Playlist Exporter · v1.0 · 2026-10-22
// Saves any Apple Music playlist or album you can open on music.apple.com (your own library
// playlists or public ones) to CSV or TXT: title, artist, album, duration and link. Useful to
// back up a playlist or move it to Spotify, YouTube Music or Tidal. Long playlists load while
// the script scrolls. It makes no network requests of its own and never reads cookies,
// passwords or tokens.
