Request: Library Export Feature

If not already mentioned try this.

lastexport.py by the libre.fm team does also a good job.

585 pages = 29196 tracks (recently listened tracks) were exported into a 2.6 MB txt file
that contains:
date trackname artistname albumname trackmbid artistmbid albummbid

It failed a few times, but with copy (win), cat (linux) you can concentate the output files:

This lets you restart the export at page 400 into output2.txt:
python ./lastexport.py -u Erkan-Yilmaz --outfile output2.txt --page 400

Have fun!

wow, all these solutions are terribly cumbersome for non-IT people :) I'll make sure to develop a no-brainer app in the next weeks.
any progress with this? i want to see a list of all tracks i've scrobbled without learning perl or downloading any programs or scripts. thanks.

i exported it twice or three times, till all pages was successfully exported, then i splized there differences(with for example "Scooter software's Beyond Compare"), according to me the best solution so far and i'm very grateful for this perlscript

short feedback on lfmCOL.pl:

for 139 library pages (ca. 2500 artists) I got a 5.3 MB xml file with:
perl lfmCOL.pl -xmlfile=Erkan.xml method=library.getTracks user=Erkan-Yilmaz


perceived problems so far:

1. missing packages at first start:
Can't locate XML/Simple.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at lfmCOL.pl line 52.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at lfmCOL.pl line 52.

solvable with installing missing package: perl -MCPAN -e 'install XML::Simple'

2. not complete library exported (?)
atm I have 144 pages, but the tool just read 139
I guess this may be due to a database not being yet synced? must check


test system:
download version: lfmCOL.pl - Generic last.fm Data Collector (last.fm -> xml), Rel. 0.4.0 - 2010-02-10
Debian 5.0.5 (lenny64)
perl 5.10.0

*bangs head against wall*

Easiest (non-technical) way is get an account (free) at http://lastfm.shikaka.net (part of Extra Stats ftw!) and have it update your stats (when the Last.fm servers are working again). This might take a while if you have a large library.

After that export either your artists or tracks as a tsv-file, import in either Excel or OpenOffice as a UTF8 format (for all of those ë-, á-characters). If you use OpenOffice rename the extension from TSV to CSV otherwise it won't import.

I have just published a java program that can get your playback history from last.fm, although you will need to update the program so that it actually does anything with the data, now it just displays it in the console. Feel free to use it or let me know how I can help further.

got the lastscrape 0.0.6, it makes good list of all plays, but how can i grab just artists list?

edit - just import txt to excel and magic!!!
