My go at "exporting" Spotify playlists to Xbox Music

I hope this is a good place to post this, not sure where Xbox Music fits in.
I recently bought an Xbox One and wanted to try out Xbox Music, but I have playlists with almost 600+ tracks. I was not able to find any solution to my problem on the internet (if you know one do tell). So I made a simple program to do it for me.
First it reads a list of Spotify track http links and extracts title, artist and album. Then, using Selenium (Selenium - Web Browser Automation) which is intended for web browser automation and testing,
starts chrome and navigates to xbox.music.com. Once you log in it will start searching for tracks, matching the result against the Spotify tracks added earlier and adding them to an Xbox Music playlist (I
recommend creating a new one). Since Selenium is doing this realtime it will take a while, but at least it is faster than I am at pressing keys and matching tracks =)
I did a testrun on a playlist with 600+ tracks and it found 527 in about 20 minutes (it all depends on how many results there are etc). Many of the ones it did not find either are invalid Spotify links (some links point to the wrong tracks, not much I
can do here), local tracks or do not exist on Xbox Music. Ofcourse there might be problems with the program as well.
Usage:

Create a txt file in the same folder as the executable named "tracklinks.txt" and paste your Spotify http track links here. Then run the program from the commandline.
XboxMusicPlaylistCrawler.exe "your chrome userdata folder" "an existing playlist on Xbox Music"
I am running windows 8 and my userdata folder is located at "C:/Users/myUser/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data". When it is done loading the tracks chrome will open and you can login. Then just let the program work. You will, ofcourse, need Chrome
(I wasn't able to get it working properly on other webbrowsers) and a little patience.
I would call it unstable at best, so don't expect too much. Songs might not get added or get added more than once etc, but it saved me a lot of time. Sometimes when no results are found it will idle for 10 seconds (this is a bug), but will continue after
the 10 seconds have passed. If MS changes anything in the layout of the html source of Xbox Music there is a good chance the program will fail, so.. For a limited time only =P
Here is a short YT video of it in action (NOTE: in the video I add a playlist link, but it turns out they only "support" up to 30 tracks, therefore the change to track links):
You can clone the project from my git repository: https://*** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. ***//xboxmusicplaylistcrawler.git
The reason I am not posting an executable is that I am afraid people might accuse me of keylogging and what not, as the program itself starts the browser and leads you to the MS loginscreen. Clone the project and you can make sure nothing is going on =)
For more information on the project and how to set it up, see the Xbox Music Crawler posts on my blog, www.jacobholm.net.

Import playlist from Spoify

How can I import my playlist from Spotify to Xbox Music?

 

My Own Spotify Playlists?

Might sound silly, but here goes...

I have been a Premium member of Spotify for years. As such I have a TON of music in playlists which I play at home, in my car, doing yardwork, ignoring my neighbors, etc.

My question is thus - can I use my stored Spotify playlists to rock to MY music either during or after games?

Thanks...and if you talk to Spotify, tell 'em they are the best!

Thanks, again...

Mike

 

Oh man, that is some horrible formatting in the xbox forum.. You can take a look at my blog instead, easier on the eyes: www..net
