Backup and restore your library data

In this example, you will:
  • Backup a local library to a JSON file
  • Restore tags for tracks from a JSON file backup
  • Backup a remote library to a JSON file
  • Restore remote playlists from a JSON file backup

Backup and restore a local library

  1. Load a local library. For more information on how to do this see :ref:`load-local`

    .. literalinclude:: _howto/scripts/local.library.load/p0_local.py
   :language: Python


    .. literalinclude:: _howto/scripts/local.library.load/p0_musicbee.py
   :language: Python

  2. Backup your library to JSON:

    .. literalinclude:: _howto/scripts/local.library.backup-restore/p1.py
   :language: Python
   :lines: 3-

  3. Restore the tags for all tracks in your library from a JSON file:

    .. literalinclude:: _howto/scripts/local.library.backup-restore/p2.py
   :language: Python
   :lines: 3-

    ... or restore only a specific set of tags:

    .. literalinclude:: _howto/scripts/local.library.backup-restore/p3.py
   :language: Python
   :lines: 3-

  4. Save the tags to the track files:

    .. literalinclude:: _howto/scripts/local.library.backup-restore/p4.py
   :language: Python
   :lines: 3-

Backup and restore a remote library

  1. Load a remote library. For more information on how to do this see any of the relevant guides for loading remote libraries.

    Note

    This step uses the :py:class:`.SpotifyLibrary`, but any supported music streaming service can be used in generally the same way. Just modify the imports and classes as required.

    .. literalinclude:: _howto/scripts/spotify.api.py
   :language: Python

  2. Backup your library to JSON:

    .. literalinclude:: _howto/scripts/spotify.library.backup-restore/p1.py
   :language: Python
   :lines: 3-

  3. Restore the playlists in your library from a JSON file and sync the playlists:

    .. literalinclude:: _howto/scripts/spotify.library.backup-restore/p2.py
   :language: Python
   :lines: 3-
