Remember this program doesn't have any concept of artists or titles.
It is only comparing text.

Having said that...

I think it could be easy to implement, so do you mean a multiple artist tag in MusicBee separated by a semi-colon?

e.g.
Giorgio Moroder; Philip Oakey - Together in Electric Dreams

Yup thats exactly what I mean. Except displaying artist often shows with the ampersand, but I think it stores the contributing artists with a semi-colon in the tags. Not sure though.
The program may not be comparing artists or titles perse. Yet it is comparing lists, which are made exclusively from artists or track titles, right? You could add a "includes" rather than an "is equal to" comparison, which is what I was thinking.

Thank you! Works great . Definitely will save a lot of time into organizing this shitshow of playlists.

Differences in the playlists could be improved by ignoring the term " - Original Mix" behind certain songs. Spotify likes to randomly add this to some songs. Spotify also has the tendency to not display both collaborating artists, only one of them. So it'd also be helpfull if it could pass the test when the spotify artist matches with either musicbee artist a, b, or c.

How do you create a little program like this? I've got some basic programming experience, maybe I can look into it myself.

Hi, I just saw this now.
I'll see what I can do in the next few days.

I was wondering whether you got around to setting something up, if not, I'll be moving forward with excel. I appreciate the effort either way.

Looks like that site will only convert playlists between platforms, not compare two different playlists.

OP, if you can post an example of a Spotify CSV and a Musicbee playlist you want to compare (on Dropbox or similar), I can try to throw something together for you.

Indeed. I've found various of these services and they all fell short one way or the other for what I need. Uploaded what you asked

Questions / Re: Replace existing files when ripping a CD

Yeah you can, but only a single song at a time (as far as I know). It's very tedious but if you only have to do a couple of albums, not too bad.

Right click on the song: Send To > Folder Replace > Replace the Selected File.

Questions / Compare Musicbee & Spotify playlists

« on: February 12, 2020, 12:31:30 PM »

I've got two sets of playlists that I use, on spotify and in musicbee. I've been wondering whether there is an easy way to compare the two playlists to find uniques so I can sync them. I've been messing around converting m3u files and the spotify playlists to csv files and then formatting and comparing the lists in google sheets. But that is a massive pain in the ass to do for multiple playlists. Does anyone know if this can be done in a more efficient way?
