mattboch I'm in the middle of this process now. How long does it take for Libre to send the info to Last?
-
Erkan-Yilmaz I don't quite remember, but you can estimate this easily (look after 5 mins at your amount of last.fm scrobbles) and then multiply according to your total scrobbles. Would be great if you add a comment in regards to time after you've finished it. Thanks in advance

bjluv And I guess this is only possible in Linux? Am i right?
-
Erkan-Yilmaz
NO, the programming languages python or perl can be installed on pretty much any existing OS
-
Erkan-Yilmaz
here's an install doc for Python, after installing do what is told on that wiki page. in case it does not work, provide specific error outputs. Thanks.

does the problem still persist? perhaps libre.fm had a temporary problem?
-
marytheruth Are there no ways to export data without Python or Perl? I've spent a good three-four hours trying to get lastexport.py to work, and the instructions are so vague that I can't even get the first step complete.

it's a wiki (that's one of the reasons for exporting there) - feel free to update the text from your point of view so others benefit; btw did you try the tool Alainn mentioned in the thread Request: Library Export Feature ?
-
marytheruth
I just tried the tool mentioned in the thread but it gave me an error and incorrect results. I'd rather use the Python, because it seems like the one that's the most reliable, but continued tries have not fixed anything. I'm still staring bewildered at the LastToLibre instructions, and still getting nothing by SyntaxError in Python. (Haha - actually, right now I'm just hoping I can find a friend to pay to do it for me.)
-
Erkan-Yilmaz
what error do you get and what's exact command line parameters you input ?
-
marytheruth
The first step says to put in "cd /path/to/lastexport/" so I do. It gives me "File "<stdin>", line 1 cd /path/to/lastexport/ SyntaxError: invalid syntax" I get this same error when trying basically every other possible command except for things like "Print" so it's probably some dumb setup mistake I made.
-
Erkan-Yilmaz
I hope you adapted the the cd command from above to your real path, it's just an example. best would be if you can send a screenshot.
-
marytheruth
Yeah, I adapted it. I just put the example so I could copy and paste and didn't have to type it all. However, I'm going to be paying my friend's little brother to do it for me now, so I don't have any more questions. Thanks for your time!

ok :-)

stoeffn Hi there, your instructions does not work for me. It reimports not the complete libre.fm charts but only the first song oft whatever and that for 50 times. Maybe it is a bug in librefm. Can't figure it out...Do you have a clue?
-
geeveecatullus thank you. It's perfect.
-
hellaballoo @Stoeffn: I am encountering the same difficulties as you. @geeveecatullus: Do you mind linking to the version of the scripts/program that you used and the settings you used for your upload to Libre.fm to successfully transfer to your Last.fm account?
-
Pulverdings Always getting a syntax error... like marytheruth.. line 87 "except Exception, e:" The marker is at the comma after Exceptions. Any solutions? I try to run it on Windows.
-
Pulverdings
Never mind used LastScrape GUI instead. You just have to run it as Administrator to get it working.
