In plain words
Unitunes is a command-line tool that transfers and syncs playlists across music streaming services. It stores playlists as plain text files for version control and supports Spotify, YouTube Music, and MusicBrainz. Users can push and pull playlists from services and search tracks across platforms. The open-source tool serves as a free alternative to commercial playlist management services and is designed for people who want control over their music collection across multiple platforms.

I hope to add support for all kinds of "services", such as local files, musescore, osu!, beatsaber, genius, or anywhere else music exists in some form. I'm looking for collaborators to help add more services and improve the search algorithm! https://github.com/platers/unitunes
