[Tutorial] Exporting your "Weekly Exploration" to any music service

[Drizzle3122]

Exporting your “Weekly Exploration” to any music service

Navigate to your Recommendations page

Click the JSON info button

Save the results to a file: playlist.json

Get the artists and titles from this using jq:

cat playlist.json | jq -r '.track[] | "\(.creator) - \(.title)"'

Go to TuneMyMusic’s playlist importer:

Select the “Free Text” option

Paste the output from the jq command

Convert your playlist and then select your music service

And then start the transfer!

Hello, I have a couple of questions… (non-technical, non-coding person here)
How do I save something as a JSON?
What is JQ?
What do I do with this code-looking-stuff?

cat playlist.json | jq -r '.track[] | "\(.creator) - \(.title)"'

Thanks!

How do I save something as a JSON?

You press the “inspect playlist” button and then copy and paste the content into the text editor of your choice. Then save that file.

What is JQ?

It’s a lightweight JSON processor. See here.

What do I do with this code-looking-stuff?

It’s bash command language. If you do not recognize it, then your computer is probably not equipped to handle it . In principle, you could use any JSON processor you like to glean the artist and title data from the file. Sadly, if you are a ‘non-technical’ person that may not be an easy task.

FWIW: I too have considerable difficulty resolving the LB playlists into something I can use. So far the “export to Spotify” proves to be most user-friendly, but their database is lacking a lot of tracks from my personal local collection

OK, thanks for the answer! I think this is not for me then…
Cheers!
