No matter what I try I can't seem to get it to accept my Spotify credentials. But hopefully I will get it figured out, I've been wanting to try Google Music for a long time but the only thing that's been holding me back is my Spotify playlists.

If your're Spotify account is bound to Facebook you need to specifically lookup your device username (which usually only contains digits) and password. You can do that on your Spotify Profile page at: https://www.spotify.com/de/account/set-device-password/

Yeah I requested a device password, but haven't gotten anything from them yet. I guess I'm just really impatient. :)

Does Portify only port playlists that you own or all playlists that you are subscribed to?

It should also pick up subscribed playlists.

Right. Added a trial for the new account. Gonna cancel it right after successful transfer. Good news, I was able to get to the transfer phase of Portify on the new account. Cheers!

Edit: Worked great. Thanks for making and releasing this utility!

As far as Google Music All Access, does anyone know how to get the play/pause, next, and previous buttons on a laptop keyboard to work on the Google Music site?

I'm going to try making a new Spotify account and just subscribe it to my playlists then try again with that Spotify account.

Be aware that it only works with "Premium" (ie. paid) Spotify accounts.
