hi, does anybody know how to upload scrobbler.log files to listenbrainz? I like to listen to music on an mp3 player running rockbox, which generates scrobbler.log files, there are a couple tools ive found to upload to last.fm but nothing that ive been able to download or build can upload to listenbrainz.

I don’t know of a ready made solution, and also don’t know what formats these log files have. In general it shouldn’t be difficult to get something running here.
Maybe if you know some Python the following script could give you some starting point:
It’s a really rough tool I just put together for my personal use where I re-submitted the listens from a ListenBrainz export JSON file to my ListenBrainz account again, after I had reset it. I guess that could be turned into a proper tool, but I only needed it once.

Hi! I am not sure what the data inside these files looks like but it should be possible to write a script to submit them using LB api. If you can share a sample, I can try to help you with that.

From https://github.com/ultraelephant/pyapplier/blob/master/pyapplier.py#L83 , I see that this is a tsv file and what various columns are. It shouldn’t be hard to modify the script @outsidecontext shared above to read this format. I can do that in the upcoming week and share it here so that you can run it locally to submit listens to LB.

Hi Lucifer,
Just wondering—did you ever get around to do this?
Hi! Sorry I had forgotten about this earlier. The latest ping reminded me of this so I modified @outsidecontext 's script for submitting such scrobble.log files. Here’s the gist: https://gist.github.com/amCap1712/bb63c802d277242e71ff03dcad516b9c
You need Python 3 installed. Download both files from the gist. Put both those files and scrobble.log file in the same directory. Open a terminal and move to the directory where the files are located. The script can be run like: python3 listenbrainz-import.py YOUR_TOKEN YOUR_FILE.

I started making a program to upload different file formats to ListenBrainz GitHub - Coloradohusky/ListenBrainz_File_Parser: Parses database files from different music listen tracker applications, and imports them into ListenBrainz
I’ll work on adding it whenever I get a chance

Assuming the example given is correct, I have a working RockBox submitter in v0.0.3.
Any input is appreciated, and a sample log file would be great to prove it works on the source.
Also, what does ‘Rating’ do? I see in lucifer’s gist he skips tracks that don’t have ‘L’ in Rating, but I wasn’t able to find any documentation about what it means - maybe it means ‘Listened’ or ‘Skipped’? If so, then does ‘duration’ mean the duration listened to, or simply the duration of the entire track, even if you skipped a couple of seconds?
