import playcount and last played from last.fm (or itunes)? - l0th - 2011-01-25 So, I recently switched to xbmc and that's probably one of the best decisions I've made recently. One of the things I really like in the music section is that it will give you a decent amount of power to set up smartlists. My problem is that a lot of the smartlists I want to build would be based on playcount and/or last played, but of course, all this data is kind of empty since I've only been using xbmc for a few weeks. That's really too bad because this info is available somewhere else online: I've been using last.fm for almost 6 years, and with over 85,000 songs listened to, I think it has a pretty accurate picture of my listening habits. Of course, the question is: is there a way to import that info into xbmc. I know it's possible because there's a program that does that for itunes. Which also means that if there's a way of importing that info from itunes, that would work for me too. In fact, if there was a program/addon that synced that data between xbmc and itunes, that'd be ideal (that way, smartlists on my iPhone would be updated based on what I listen via xbmc). Possible? Not possible? - l0th - 2011-02-03 No one, really? Maybe I'm in the wrong section of the forum and should post this as a plug-in request? (does look to me that the synchronizer here would be an external tool though). If it's not possible then, I'm just curious though: how do people who have kept track of a long music listening history transition to xbmc? Do you just reset the counter to zero and start rebuilding your top 100 and whatnot from scratch? - Adeiko - 2011-02-06 Do not think any of this is implemented in any addon, but it's really a great idea. - l0th - 2011-02-08 Adeiko Wrote:Do not think any of this is implemented in any addon, but it's really a great idea. Maybe I should just put in a request for a "last.fm-xbmc sync add-on" then? RE: import playcount and last played from last.fm (or itunes)? - cat0 - 2012-06-21 This is such a good idea. Have anyone seen a solution to this one? Would love if my Top 100 in XBMC would be synced with last.fm. RE: import playcount and last played from last.fm (or itunes)? - kevjs1982 - 2012-06-22 I've done the same with Winamp years ago - that was a simple Perl script that downloaded my play history from Last.FM and then wrote an Itunes database (which Winamp was able to import). Sounds like a neat idea though (hmm, can you write directly to the MyMusic.db file? - I know how to access the Last.FM API using PHP, I know how to access the XBMC SQLite databases using PHP, the weather outside is looking awful this weekend.... A command line script on Linux should be possible...) RE: import playcount and last played from last.fm (or itunes)? - kevjs1982 - 2012-06-23 If you like living life on the edge, the first version of my transfer script is at https://github.com/kevjs1982/lastfm-to-xbmc It's not fully tested, you use it at your own risk, etc etc.... Still downloading my library from Last Fm - only got to 2009 at the moment and have only tried synching on my windows box (which has a partial music library inside XBMC). Designed to allow frequent syncs to keep topping the XBMC one up. If your MyMusic file does get trashed then there should be a backup inside the data folder, but I would strongly suggest you make your own first! |
