[Release] Unportify v1.4.3

[Release] Unportify v1.4.3

NOTE: If you don't care about my story, jump to the bold text below and ignore the rest.

 

After using Google Play Music for a year, I started to miss some of Spotify's details.

On Google Music, you can be listening to calm, relaxing music, and get jump scared when the next song starts playing because the volume isn't equal for every song.

I also missed Spotify's humanized shuffle, where the shuffle feels random even though it isn't, or Spotify's artificial inteligence, that always recommended me amazing songs.

 

A year ago, I made the switch because no matter how many times Chromecast support was requested, Spotify wouldn't listen. That, together with a poor GNU/Linux client, made me dislike Spotify.

A year later, Spotify now has Chromecast support,

 

with a poor GNU/Linux client.

 

Because I miss some of Spotify's details and they, finally, listened to the community, it's time to come back, hopefully, to stay.

 

Now, the subject of this post says "[Release]" because I have a 931 song playlist on Google Music and I'm not transfering it manually, so I made a little script.

 

Tested on Chrome (02-01-2017).

Github \ (The instructions are in the script).

HOW TO USE (Chrome):
1. Go to Google Play Music
2. Once loaded, right click anywhere in the page and left click on "Inspect" (or press CTRL + SHIFT + I)
3. Go to the "Console" tab.
4. There's a little dropdown, select "top".
5. Paste this script next to the ">" and press enter.
6. You can now close the console. (Click the X at the right or press CTRL + SHIFT + I).
7. Go to the playlist you want to export.
8. Press 0 to start the export process.
   If pressing 0 does nothing, reload the page and make sure you you inject the code on "top" (step #4).
9. Follow on-screen instructions.
10. Once it's done, a file containing your playlist will download, paste it here:
   https://labs.villoslada.me/unportify.

NOTE: If the number of catched songs is lower than the number of songs in your playlist,
      you might have duplicates, if not, try lowering the scroll speed.

when I run this and it gets to the bottom of my playlist nothing happens and if i try and scroll the list keeps bouncing back to the bottom.  What am I doing wrong?!?

Hello CTYSS,

You found a glitch. The script is not detecting that it has reached the bottom of the page.

 

What browser are you using?

 

Signatures are too generic

Chrome on a Mac

I assume you're injecting the script through the console, does the script throw any errors?

 

Also, make sure that you're injecting it in top, here's a screenshot, I marked it in red:

Getting the same behavior on Windows 10 Chrome using the CJS plug-in.

 

Getting a message on the last line (var saveAs=saveAs) saying "Missing '()' invkoing a constructor. A constructor name should start with an uppercase letter."

Oh so it's the part that saves the file that's failing. I didn't write that part of the code so I have no idea why it's happening.

 

Instead of using the CJS plugin, try using the default Chrome developer console.

 

1. Go to Google Play Music

2. Press Ctrl+Shift+I or right click > Inspect

3. Go to the console tab and make sure you select "top"

Capture.PNG

 

4. Paste the code on the text field that's on the right of the blue ">" and press enter.

 

That should run the code in Chrome, maybe it's the CJS plug-in that's causing the problem so this might solve it.

Still dosnt seem to be working for me. Not getting any error messages I can see and injecting it in top 😕

Made some modifications to the script, hopefully this fixes the problem.

 

Tell me if it works.

Modified script

No go for me.

    1. "Error in protected function: Unexpected token in JSON at position 56886"
    2. stack:"SyntaxError: Unexpected token in JSON at position 56886↵ at JSON.parse (<anonymous>)↵ at scrollAction (<anonymous>:149:47)↵ at pageScroll (<anonymous>:170:5)↵ at c (https://play-music.gstatic.com/fe/300176712979b46b690942d8cdc239da/listen.js:895:126)"
    3. __proto__:Es
 
 
 

On my windows 10 (chrome) setup, special 8 bit characters (such as "üöäèéà") don't work. They are saved as 16bit (?) characters in the xml playlist, which will not get recogized when importing to spotify. They still don't get properly recognized if replaced by 7 bit (ae oe ue) or 8 bit (ä ö ü, standard windows charset) characters.

 

 

You guys seem to have a different problem.

Is it possible for you to share your playlists, so I can test a couple things?

I'm getting a similar problem. Gets to the end, but no saving dialogue (which I assume is what it should do?).

 

Error in the console:

 

"Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'textContent' of null"

 

Seems like a problem at line 140, there's no div that has class 'info' when I check through, perhaps Google have updated again?

 

I tried editing that line and set "playlist_title" to a string. Seemed to get me past that error, but then I got this:

 

"Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token in JSON at position 1558"

I've got some songs with funny characters in them. Could be related to the other issue people have had?

 

Still a bit stuck but hopefully that gives you some useful info!

Hey, modified script works for me using Chrome for Mac.  I disabled any Script Inject browser add-ons and worked first time.

 

Great tool, thanks very much!

reply to fxkqwan:

The HTML seems to be the same, it might be that the title is unloaded.

Try using this script, you will get a lot of jibberish on the actual playlist file but it will, hopefully, avoid the crash.

The result of this script will not work on the Unportify importer tool.

 

If you could paste me the file you get, that would really help me understand what's wrong with it.

 

Thank you.

Thank you, I'm glad it worked 🙂

Unportify is also not working for me. It scrolls until the back of the playlist (speed 100, 50, 25) but after that does not offer any file to download or another message from the script bums up. what am i doing wrong?

 

Windows 10 - Chrome 52

 

 

EDIT:

 

TheDegree0 script few posts above me worked and i generated a file. but this file does not work properly with the importation website Unportify provides. just stuck in the importation process on first try. second try i get the mesg that importation was successful, but just 2 out of 75 songs were found on spotify and added to the playlist.

 

 

EDIT 2:

The modified code from this website

https://gist.githubusercontent.com/TheDegree0/29137b5abf7be44dd46e29ad8ff39e2e/raw/aede0c68403821b9f...

 

also didnt work.

 

tried it with the CJS extension as well as the normal google chrome console.

 

 

Need help

 

 

 

Works like a charm on Windows 10 Pro with Chrome 53 (actually it missed 2 songs out of 214 but hey). If I connect Unportify to Spotify, will it steal my CC info, run away with my girlfriend and sell my children into slavery?

reply to ouphe:

 

Glad it worked, the 2 songs it missed might be duplicates, some songs are the same but in different albums.

 

On the privacy part, Unportify only requests access to public account information, that permission is required in order to create the public playlist. The only information it saves is the IDs of the songs and who imported what.

 

It saves who imported which songs so I can have a basic idea of how many people have used it and how many return to import again.

 

About the song IDs, it saves them so it doesn't have to request them again for future users, so by using it, you're helping everyone else! 🙂

 

I'll be releasing the code soon for the importer, I don't have much free time so I didn't get to do it yet.

 

Thanks for using Unportify!

reply to earl_grey123:

 

With the latest update of the script (here), change this:

scroll_margin = 50;

To this:

scroll_margin = 200;

It's on line 75 col 5.

 

Also, close the console before starting the export process.

Run the modified script and tell me if that works 🙂
