YouTube Music to ListenBrainz
Submit your YTM listens from your Google Takeout.
Note:
This is not fool-proof, some listens are under Various Artists or Release and as such will not be properly matched. However, from my experience importing a year of listens (12k listens), 95-99% of listens get properly matched and a couple are left to do by hand.
Disclaimer:
- I’m not responsible for messed up histories, unmatched listens, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because your taste in music is bad.
- YOU are choosing to use this software, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your ListenBrainz history, I will laugh at you.
