Google Play Music - Export Track list
I wanted to get a track list from Google Play Music. Unfortunately there is no way I am aware of to just choose your library and export the whole thing to CSV.
What can be done is go to Google TakeOut, choose Google Play Music and then wait for it to notify you. For me this took about an hour, to get a 3MB ZIP file (you don't have to wait on their page, though - you can check later or wait for the e-mail).
On the ZIP file there is a CSV with data on each track (both on your library and on each playlist, in a folder) and a index.html file.
If you need a simple list track title list, this is very easy - just open the index.html file, click to open the playlist you want or just the tracks folder, select all (Ctrl+A) and copy. You will get a list with the track names plus .CSV. Naturally, this is not the best (MANY tracks have the same names but different bands or albums), but it might do for your needs.
I'll probably make a simple PC app to go through all CSV files and extract all data. Comment if you'd like a copy.
Update: Wrote TrackViewer, in about 3 hours, while learning MVVM in WPF:
Cool grid by Developer Express (been using their VCL stuff for almost 20 years, although I am fairly new at the .NET components).
The app loads a folder with a few thousand files in a second or two, and the Grid makes it easier to group by a field, show counts and sort by them. Looks like Garbage is my favorite, followed by Leo, Roxette, Van Halen and Metallica...
