schneems / rdio2spotify Goto Github PK

This is entirely crummy, "works for me"-style code. It may work for you, but it probably won't. Please don't use this unless you're willing to do some serious debugging and fooling around. If it breaks, I probably can't help you, sorry.

Still want to play?

First, you need the same kit as I have:

• Chrome
• Python 2.7 (probably works with other versions, haven't tried).
• iTerm2 beta version (this is how I did images. you can probably rip this out without much trouble if you don't want to use iTerm2)
• Rdio and Spotify accounts, natch.

Then:

1. Install the Rdio Enhancer Chrome plugin

2. Visit Rdio in Chrome, go to your favorites view, make sure you're in "Album's & Songs" Mode (it'll be a URL like http://www.rdio.com/people/{YOURNAME}/favorites/albums/).

3. If Rdio Enhancer is working, you should see a "Export to CSV" button. Click it. Wait, this takes a long time (like, 10 minutes for my 1000-ish albums).

4. Create a Spotify API application on this page

5. Modify r2s.py, filling in the 4 constants up at the top with the info from the app you created above.

6. Install your Python kit: pip install -r requirements.txt

7. Convert the collection csv into a sqlite db you need for the next step: python rdio_export_to_sqlite.py

8. Run the converter! python r2s.py. It'll try to match albums in Rdio to equivalents in Spotify. If no results are found, you get a chance to manually enter artist/album for a search. Then, you'll see the best match, and can add it, try the next match, or skip the album entirely (for music you don't want to port over).

Lots, I'm sure. Here are the ones I know of:

• Doesn't do playlists. See http://soundiiz.com/.

• Skips albums with less than 5 tracks saved in Rdio. Tweak on line 38 if r2s.py if you like.
