tried to run "sudo python ImportList.py ~/Downloads/spotify-music.txt" and get this:

double check that the gmusicapi dependencies are getting installed correctly.

in particular check the protobuf dependency. try installing it via pip, some distros may have it available via their package management, or building and installing it from source.

after all the dependencies have been installed, you should be able to run the scripts. when running the playlist scripts you shouldn't need to use sudo
