Questions / Re: Uploading playlists (and songs) to Google Play/YTM

« on: June 30, 2020, 12:12:15 AM »

Thank you, I have had a look and Soundliz looks like a decent solution. It appears that I need a paid membership in order to convert them to Google Play Music. Does anyone know if I can keep the playlists on Google once I cancel or will it automatically remove them?

I was able to transfer them to YTM but unhelpfully, YTM seemed to take the song title and then match it to any old version or artist in its database so only a handful of my actual songs appeared in the playlist...

It will not delete your playlists if you unsubscribe.

I use Soundiiz. When I want to upload a playlist, I provide it a CSV file formatted like title;artist;album (like it asks for) and it doesn't have any problem finding the right ones.

In MB Edit->Edit Preferences->Tags(2)...'send to clipboard' tags and put '<Title>';'<Album Artist>';'<Album>' and then select all the files, right click, Send To->Clipboard.  Then paste the clipboard into a text editor and save as CSV.

Thanks again for your help. Curiosity got the better of me and I had to have a go tonight. I followed the steps on MB and changed the preferences under Tags(2) to <Title>;<Album Artist>;<Album> and copied one of my playlists to clipboard. I then pasted this into Notepad and all appeared OK, there was one song per line and the format seemed fine e.g. Chandelier;Sia;1000 Forms of Fear

I then went onto Soundliz > Import playlist > From File > uploaded the CSV, what then appeared on the screen mirrored the format I had in Notepad so all appeared well but after clicking confirm and selecting Google Play Music, it encountered an error for 110 of the files stating 'Not found'.

Does it sound like I'm doing anything wrong in the MB/CSV part of the process?

Ah thank you, I'll give that a try tomorrow.

I started by uploading all my files from my laptop (my F drive, which is the same folder Musicbee scans for new files) onto Google Play Music via Music Manager and also copying them over to YTM.

I then went on to Soundliz and tried to import my playlists as an m3u. First to YTM and as I said, it just seemed to choose any old songs with those song titles. I then signed up for premium membership so I could try and and import to Google but of the 145 songs on the first playlist I tried, only 4 songs actually materialised (no idea why they did and not the other 141, it just showed as an error for those songs).

I will try again tomorrow via CSV instead of m3u.

Could it make any difference that my MusicBee directory and playlists are in my laptop's C drive and my source music folder is in the F drive?

Questions / Uploading playlists (and songs) to Google Play/YTM

« on: June 29, 2020, 04:42:23 PM »

Although I have begun to use streaming services (currently Google Play Music/Youtube Music) more and more over recent years, I still like to have my music and playlists that I have built over the years physically on my phone so that they are available offline. I use MusicBee to manage all my music and playlists on my desktop to keep this organised.

What I would like to try and do is to upload all of these files and crucially, the playlists on to Google Play Music or Youtube Music also. Any advice as to how I can achieve this? I can see that Youtube music web app has an 'upload music' option but it does not seem to be able to include playlists. I have also downloaded the 'music manager' desktop for Google Play Music and again, it has an initial option to upload songs but not sure if it's possible to get playlists in there?

Questions / Some empty playlists after syncing

« on: July 07, 2015, 09:40:36 AM »

I have recently switched over to Music Bee and synced for the first time with my Z3 last night. Everything seemed to work great apart from six or seven of my playlists didn't sync properly. They show up in my music player but they are empty and show no songs but the other twenty or so playlists I have seem to have synced over just fine.

I tried to sync again this morning but with only the specific playlists that didn't sync over properly, it said it copied them over but then there doesn't appear to have been any change.

On a side note, i don't know if this is related to the issue but my playlists are saved in MB as .m3u but when they synced over, they appear on my phone as .pla? I'm guessing this isn't the issue as most of the playlists I synced over are working fine.

Plugins / Re: Google Music Playlist Sync

I can't log in

Have you solved this problem?
I finally installed 2.5 incl. GM-Sync, but can`t log in either.
Google Account Login for Less Secure Apps was already enabled.
No idea what to try now...

Also have the problem of not being able to log in despite enabling Less Secure Apps.

Anyone manage to solve this?

Questions / How to locate dead links? Help!

« on: July 03, 2015, 05:59:23 PM »

I've just started using MB and have attempted to import all the music from my external hard drive. Unfortunately about 1,200 of the songs are only showing as dead links.

I've located a few of them individually but this would take so much time to do for all of them, is there a quick way of locating all of these?
