Track and album swapped and other errors

LeanderAT opened this issue · comments

Hello!

I downloaded the .csv of my three accounts. Then I uploaded them to a new profile with Scrubbler. ..using File Parser.

Sometimes track and album are swapped. A track is stored as an album and vice versa... e.g. the track "Example" is stored as a new album of a band...although it is a song.

Moreover, if a song shares the name with the album it is on, playing other songs on the album count towards the song of the same name.

Example:

Band: Band
Album: Super Rock
Songs:

  1. Intro
  2. Super Rock
  3. Hell yeah
  4. Let's do this
  5. Final swing

Playing "Hell yeah" on the album "Super Rock" counts towards the SONG "Super Rock"...so if you listen to the entire album, Intro, Heall yeah, Let's do this and final swing have counts of 1 scrobbles but "Super Rock" has 5...because the album is entitled "Super Rock" as well and every song on that album counts towards the song "Super Rock".

Another question: What does Scrubbler need in order to work?

Example:

Band,Album,Track,31.01.2018 04:58:59 +00:00,,

Is this correct? Does the time format need to be in US order, month, day, year? Or is day, month, year ok? What about the "+00:00,," at the end?

When using File Parser all songs were stored to be scrobbled in 2022...on the actual day of uploading the file.

How can I keep the real date so a song played in 2008 is correctly stored? I don't want to have thousands of songs in 2022 when combining accounts.

First off, always make sure your csv is parsed in the correct order. Different CSV files come in different orders and that needs to be configured. You can configure the csv parser via the "Settings" button next to the csv dropdown in the file parser.
Secondly, the timestamps will be mainly ignored since last.fm does not allow scrobbles older than 14 days, therefore your scrobbles will always look like they have been scrobbled in 2022.

Thank you!

EDIT Sorry for blaming Scrubbler! Seems everything works as it should. I read my own comment/shout under one of my profiles and found out that merging profiles with some tool I don't remember caused the error in 2019...then I downloaded the already faulty data, uploaded them again...and of course the new profile had the same error because it was already corrupted in 2019.
So Scrubbler did not cause my errors but some tool I used back in 2019.

PS How should .csv files be saved? I downloaded them with https://benjaminbenben.com/lastfm-to-csv/

  1. After editing should I save it in .csv (separated by separator) or .csv UTF8 (separated by separator)? Before I upload such files with Scrubbler?

  2. What do I have to edit in the file? Special characters (e.g. German ones) are displayed incorrectly.
    "Empyrium,Ãœber den Sternen (Luxus),Ãœber den Sternen,28 Nov 2021 00:10"

"Ãœber den Sternen" should be "Über den Sternen"...should I replace such characters in all files or keep them as Last.fm will display them correctly after uploading the file with Scrubbler?

  1. Do all entries require an album? Sometimes it is band,,track,time stamp... without an album.

Album is optional. You can also configure the encoding of the parsing process in the settings. Since I do not know which one your specific file needs you can just try around until one of them fits.

Thanks! And the special characters? I will fix thousands of entries manually so want to make sure everything is correct before uploading. :)

Special characters should be parsed correctly, when you have the correct encoding selected

What encoding should be selected? Just saw you are German. Soll ich "CSV Trennzeichen getrennt" wählen oder "CSV UFT8 Trennzeichen getrennt"? Excel fragt mich beim Speichern von Änderungen genau...einfach speichern geht nicht.

Ich hab beide Formate getestet, aber Umlaute sind immer falsch.

E�s - Unter toten Kapitänen

statt Eïs - Unter toten Kapitänen

Muss ich alle Umlaute selber setzen? Also per "ersetze x durch y"?

You have to change the encoding IN the Scrubbler, I dont think the encoding you choose in excel really matters that much

Thanks! I replaced the characters in Excel and tested it with the corrupted account...it works. :) Fixing everything (especially Alcest's French characters) takes a while but finally, Last.fm finds the correct songs.

Ich habe ein neues Profil begonnen. Von 2800 Scrobbles waren 2785 erfolgreich. Von Adversus fehlen 10 Scrobbles, von Adrima 1, von Algazanth 4. Hab aber keine Ahnung, wo der Fehler ist? Bei Adversus wurde "Seelenwinter" nur 1x gescrobbelt, "Zimmer im Kopf" auch nur 1x.
