Export your Rdio favorites and playlists to Google Play Music.
- An Rdio account.
- A Google Play Music account with an Unlimited subscription.
- Python on a UNIX-like computer. I use Debian GNU/Linux. A Mac might work.
If you use 2-Step Verification (and you should) then you need to create an /App password/ rather than using your normal Google password.
Install the right version of the gmusicapi module by running:
git submodule update --init
and its dependencies by running
pip install --user -r gmusicapi-module/requirements.txt
To import all your public Rdio playlists and favorites into your Play Music account run with your Rdio username and Google account.
python rdio-export.py rdio_username yourname@gmail.com
Then enter your Google App password, sit back and let the program do its thing. It can take a while.
After it runs there will be HTML reports generated for your imported favorites (favorites.html) and for each
playlist (playlist-*.html). Take a look to make sure the tool did the right thing with your data.
This script does its best to match the tracks from Rdio to those on Google Play Music. Sometimes it will get things wrong. You should look through the HTML reports to make sure it did the right thing. It's also slow. For each Rdio track the Google Play Music catalog will be searched at least a couple of times to make sure that the best match has been found. It tries to avoid picking "karaoke" or instrumental cover tracks if possible.
