How to code cleaner and more efficient?

Python

Hi everyone, I am a starting programmer in python. I have built a script through 'spotipy' that creates a new playlist based on your best listened-to songs. If the playlist already exists you have the option to replace the songs. At the moment the script works, but I know it can be cleaner and more efficient. I used functions for this. I would like to learn how I could make this script more efficient and cleaner, would anyone like to help me? it would be greatly appreciated!

What I have tried:

import spotipy
import spotipy
from spotipy.oauth2 import SpotifyOAuth

sp = spotipy.Spotify(auth_manager=SpotifyOAuth(client_id="",
                                               client_secret="",
                                           redirect_uri="https://google.com",
                                               scope="user-top-read playlist-read-private playlist-modify-private"))

fields = ['rank_position', 'album_type', 'album_name', 'album_id',
          'artist_name', 'artist_id', 'track_duration', 'track_uri',
          'track_name', 'track_popularity', 'track_number', 'track_type']

tracks = {}


def check_exist(playlist_name):
    playlists = sp.current_user_playlists()
    for name in playlists['items']:
        if name['name'] == playlist_name:
            message = input("playlist already exists, replace the songs? y/n: ")
            if message == 'y':
                return True, name['id']
            elif message == 'n':
                print('ok')
    else:
        return False

def list_top_songs():
    n = int(input("how many top songs?: "))
    results = sp.current_user_top_tracks(limit=n)
    for i in fields:
        tracks[i] = []

    for item in results['items']:
        tracks['album_type'].append(item['album']['album_type'])
        tracks['album_id'].append(item['album']['id'])
        tracks['album_name'].append(item['album']['name'])
        tracks['artist_name'].append(item['artists'][0]['name'])
        tracks['artist_id'].append(item['artists'][0]['id'])
        tracks['track_duration'].append(item['duration_ms'])
        tracks['track_uri'].append(item['uri'])
        tracks['track_name'].append(item['name'])
        tracks['track_popularity'].append(item['popularity'])
        tracks['track_number'].append(item['track_number'])
        tracks['track_type'].append(item['type'])
    return tracks['track_uri']


def edit_playlist(playlistid, songs):
    try:
        sp.playlist_replace_items(playlistid, songs)
        print("songs are replaced!")
    except Exception as e:
        return e


def create_playlist(username, playlist_name, public, collaborative, description):

        if public == 'y':

        else:

        return username, playlist_name, public, collaborative, description
    else:

def main():

    if userinp[0] is True:
