Not as far as I can tell.

My backout plan is to manually copy over all the artists I'm following. It'll take an hour or two, and I'd have to remember which of their albums I liked the most.

For custom playlists? Currently you're shit out of luck, you'll have to do it manually.

You can export the list of albums you saved through the api. A while ago I wrote this using jq: https://gist.github.com/ergl/ae7c56d2a754558bb7b2cf9e98979fa...

Just grab an auth token from https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/console/get-current-us... and call the above script with it. Very hacky, but it works.

They have a nice API for working with playlists. Dozens of services would pop up for ripping them if spotify goes EOL.

It's definitely an API. I'm not sure I'd say it was -nice- going off my experiences with it (caveat: they might have changed it since 2013 when it was the bane of my life.)
