#Sonos playlist export mac

Itunes_library = plistlib.load(itunes_handle)įor export I've tried dozens of different options, but generally something like the below (sometimes with encoding='utf-8' and various other options): with open(dest_path, 'w') as playlist_file: I read in the data from iTunes' XML file using: with open(settings, 'rb') as itunes_handle: Within Python itself I'm not doing anything particularly clever. The fact that some unicode characters work now, and others don't, makes me think it's got to be something obvious! I'm guessing the difference is that accents modify the previous character, rather than being a character in itself, but tried removing the previous letter and that didn't work! I've never really worked with unicode / UTF-8 before, but having read various guides and how-to's I feel like I'm getting close but probably just missing something simple.

) are fine, whilst ö ( ö), å ( å) and á ( á) are not.

́ Using this format doesn't make a difference to what works or does not work - ÷ ( ÷) and I've tried both using these as their original unicode characters, but also as their encoded XML identifier e.g.

However, just as I was starting to tidy up and finish off the code, I found some other characters that weren't being handled correctly: ö, å, á and a couple of others. in their path now work perfectly, just using those characters in their unicode / UTF-8 form in the playlist file itself.wpl playlists, and thought I'd solved it. I've tried many different ways of encoding it, and just can't get it to recognise tracks with non-standard (non-ASCII?) characters in their names. , which after a bit of Googling I found was clearly mixing up UTF-8 and UTF-16 (÷ 0xC3 0xB7 in UTF-8, whilst Ã is U+00C3 in UTF-16 and.The character ÷ was interpreted by Sonos as Ã Sonos does not appear to support UTF-8 encoding in. The only problem is playlists, which I'm generating via a bit of Python3 code.

#Sonos playlist export mac

I'm moving from iTunes on Mac to a folder structure on Linux (Ubuntu), and the file paths all contain the original Unicode names and these are displayed and play fine from Sonos in the Artist / Album view. All was going fine until I came across some unicode text in track, album and artist names. I suggest using the “Share Playlist” option to get that easily – most services will have one.I'm working to export a small subset of music from my iTunes library to an external drive, for use with a Sonos speaker (via Media Library on Sonos). Alternately, you can log in to the respective service and select the playlist. Next, you’ll select the source music platform and paste the playlist link you want to transfer in the dedicated field.

Go to the Tune My Music website and tap “Let’s Start.” While you can do this on your desktop, you can do this straight on your phone, too (which is how I am doing it here). Let’s Move!įor this example, I will be moving some of my playlists from the music service Deezer over to Spotify. So let’s take a look at the way it works. I’ve tried a few of them, but I’ve come to the conclusion that Tune My Music is by far the easiest to use - and it’s free.

But what happens to your workout, lunch relaxation, or walk-in-the-park playlists?įortunately, even if YouTube Music doesn’t cut it anymore and you prefer to listen to Spotify in the car, there is an easy solution. With the multitude of streaming services available, there is a pretty good chance that you will want to move from one to the other at some point.
