[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.

Hi TheDegree0,

 

The .js script works fine and export all songs from my playlist to .txt file. But I have trouble with importation website Unportify provides: I copied content of received .txt file to webpage and pressed "IMPORT", but the importation process was stuck. I have tried several times, but it isn't help. Also I have tried import sample playlist from Format example webpage - importation process also was stuck. I have attached my .txt file playlist. Can you help, please?

 

Hey desergik,

 

That's super weird, I was able to import your playlist.

Attached are the tracks that couldn't be found (all remixes and feat. I'll fix this in the near future).

 

Checking the server logs revealed a bunch of errors with your tokens, they got messed up for some reason. If you ever need to import anything else, go to https://www.spotify.com/us/account/apps/ revoke access to Unportify and try again.

 

Your playlist:

https://open.spotify.com/user/arnauvp/playlist/0KtSBCfMFJEvLBeKoVSyLh

Would you specify where the code begins and ends?

 

Would you site where eactly we are to go to the playlist for step 7?

 

I am asking these two questions because when I press 0 at a playlist nothing happens. I confirmed my set up as instucted in step 8, but still nothing. 

 

Thanks!

 

 

Hey man, looks like a great script! Export worked & produced a pretty JSon (whose form validates when I test it) of 500+ numbers. Running Chrome in Debian. Exported twice with the same end result.

 

When I run it through the site however, it says "Wrong Format".

Deconecting spotify & reconnecting didn't change anything..

 

Thanks up front 😉

tldr; it worked when pasting it from LibreOffice, I suppose line terminators **bleep**

 

So far I opened the file I uploaded via gedit & pasted it. Considering it's being saved on linux & then being uploaded to a service expecting a windows saved file, I supposed it might not have the right line terminators (the whole LF; CR+LF **bleep**). I also figured LibreOffice might do some whatever, so I retested with opening the file with Writer & pasted that content. it worked 🙂 #HappyCamper.

 

Thanks a lot for the script & the import service; you rock!!

reply to MS191:

Are you using Chrome? I only tested it on that browser.

If you go inside the playlist, where it lists all your songs and then press 0, it should pop up a message to start the importation process.

If that still doesn't work, try starting the importation process and check if there's any error message popping up (scary red message). If it does, paste it here.

 

Hope this helps,

reply to TheRedGen:

Hello, I'm glad it's fixed, I suspect the problem was with the format of the file that was being saved, it should be UTF-8 but maybe something was messing with it.

 

I could always add an option to print the JSON on console instead of saving a file, that could solve some problems, in fact, the generated song names and albums look so ugly in an attempt to solve this.

 

Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you very match for support, TheDegree0!

Hey The Degree0,

 

Thanks for providing this great tool. I just wanna list two bugs I found:

  • If you want  to export all songs from the Songs tab on Google Play, an exception will occur on line 145: 
    var playlist_title = document.querySelector('div.info div.title').textContent;
    So I just hard coded the title.
  • When importing the text on the unportify site, I got unexpected errors and it turns out it doesn't like special characters like left brackets which has unicode of %5B. I'm a huge alt-J fan and it didn't like the ∆ either.  

reply to TheUndeniable:

 

Hey, thanks for the feedback! Unfortunetly I cannot keep updating this script since my Google Play Music subscription has expired. Any edits to the script are welcome!

 

Regarding the second bug, if you could provide your playlist, I could try fixing it, since it doesn't require a subscription.

 

If I ever get my hands on a subscription again, the first thing I'll do is update the script 🙂

Hi! Unportify imports empty playlist. Can you look at what can be wrong?

To anyone experiencing problems: on line 145, try replacing 

document.querySelector('div.info div.title')

 with

document.querySelector('h2[slot="title"]')

This makes the script work for me.

reply to logicnotlogical:

Thank you! Just updated the script.

 

For everyone still experiencing problems, I'm currently working on a better version that will no longer require you to use this script, everything will be done through the website.

Hi, TheDegree0.

 

Firstly, thanks so much for creating this tool - it's really helping me transition back to Spotify!

 

However for certain playlists I'm encountering an issue that I haven't been able to resolve yet. I'm able to successfully extract the playlist tracks but during import on the Unportify website I get a message stating "An unknown exception has occurred." This results in an empty playlist being imported into Spotify. Have you encountered this before/ know why this error would occur? I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting unportify to Spotify but that didn't fix the issue. I've attached one of the offending playlists if you'd be so kind as to check it out!

 

Thanks in advance. 

 

 

 

 

 

Having issues with the script. I'm running it on a Chromebook (so obviously it's being done in Chrome). I'm pretty tired so I'll attempt again later this week and see what errors are being generated. It seems to execute the first part, and scrape the songs (or it scrolls like it's doing what it should) but it gets to the end of my songlist and just sits there. 

runs well but does not create a .txt file instead i get error message.

 

listen.js:1161 Uncaught Cx {message: "Error in protected function: saveAs is not defined", Xrb: true, cause: ReferenceError: saveAs is not defined
at scrollAction (<anonymous>:121:9)
at pageScroll (<an…, stack: "ReferenceError: saveAs is not defined↵ at scrol…71dda72389b50b7b2ed6815356eaa/listen.js:1160:261)"}

 

I am so glad you made this and it looks fantastic, I just need some help getting over this step.

Looking forward to getting a way to get these - at the minute the script looks like it's running but there's just loads of 'Uncaught' red x errors and nothing else.

 

Thanks for your hard work and efforts on this!

What are the odds that you would be able to figure out how to do this for an entire library? That is something I would most definitely pay for! I tend to switch back and forth between Google Music and Spotify and to be able to move my whole library back and forth would be spectactular! 

You certainly have put in a lot of effort to get this function to work - well done!

I wondered if you knew of a method for doing the reverse - getting Spotify playlists into Google Play? I'm about to set up a Family account in Google Play but fear my daughter won't use it as she has lots of Spotify playlists that she won't give up.

Thanks again,

Mike

Yeah, its called protify, that is why this is called unportifiy, sadly though though unportify is not working for me 😞
