welcome to the forums, Stranger~

I believe there’s currently plans to import the [Spotify extended history](https://support.spotify.com/us/article/understanding-my-data/), but as far as I can tell, that hasn’t been added yet

> FWIW, We intend to add Spotify extended history import support directly in LB. [Import from spotify extended streaming history by amCap1712 · Pull Request #1800 · metabrainz/listenbrainz-server · GitHub](https://github.com/metabrainz/listenbrainz-server/pull/1800) I had also looked into importing Apple Music data a while ago but last I checked the data they returned was missing the timestamp field. If that’s available now, we could add support for it too.

that said, I believe there’s also external tools in development for importing the extended history, but I haven’t found one that’s simple enough for me to understand. currently I think they’re both Python/command line tools, but if you wanna give it a shot, there’s one [here](https://gitlab.com/BoostCookie/spotify-to-listenbrainz-history-import) (not tested myself, so proceed with caution)

personally, I’m prolly waiting until ListenBrainz adds imports directly
