unrec/lastfm-tracks-dumper

Executable application to fetch .csv data with tracks for specific Last.fm user. Stack: Gradle, Kotlin, Jackson, okhttp3

lastfm-tracks-dumper

The application obtains listened (aka scrobbled) tracks for a specific Last.fm user and save it to a .csv file. The application allows to download all scrobbled tracks or duplicated as well.

Usage

Run the application .jar file and provide next parameters:

• required username (--user)
• API token, see here (--token)
• download strategy (--starategy, optional):
  • default - get all scrobbled tracks
  • only-duplicates - get duplicated tracks without the 1st one (can be used for deduplication of the library)
  • without-duplicates - get only duplicated tracks (each duplicated track of the scrobbling history will be shown once)

java -jar lastfm-tracks-dumper.jar --user %user% --token %token% --strategy default

Duplicates

Due to scrobbling issues duplicated tracks can appear in the library 2 or more times. The application determine duplicates with two rules:

1. Duplicated tracks go in sequential order.
2. Difference in the scrobbled time is less than 10 sec.

Depending on the strategy there will be different output result:

• only-duplicates - track Human will appear 2 times, track Be Mine 1 time.
• without-duplicates - each duplicated track will appear just once.

Exported .csv data

Generated .csv has tab as separator as some names can contain ; symbol in it.

Currently only date, artist, track and album values are saved to .csv.

Additional fields page, pageLink and index were added for easy navigation in the library.

ID's for track/artist/album are not saved due to this Last.fm issue.
