Import music into Rdio from a plain text file. We don't all use iTunes.
$ git clone https://github.com/pbrisbin/rdin
$ cd rdin && cabal install
Generate a text file containing one line per item you wish to import.
That line should be of the form artist album.
Then:
$ rdin that-file.txt
rdin will execute an Album search via the Rdio API for each
artist-album string and add the first result to your collection.
To add to your collection, you must grant rdin access. Upon running
the tool, a url will be printed. Visit that link, grant access, and
enter the provided PIN back into rdin.
TODO
| Option | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
--exact-only |
Only add exact matches to your collection | Add everything |
--dry-run |
Print matches but don't add them to your collection | Actually add |
To create a collection file from MPD, we'll put all or our music in one playlist then print and format that playlist:
$ mpc clear
$ mpc listall | mpc add
$ mpc --format '%artist% %album%' lsplaylist | uniq > collection.txt
If you don't want to edit the collection file before passing to rdin
you can also pass it directly via process substitution:
$ rdin <(mpc --format '%artist% %album%' lsplaylist | uniq)
