Queries every user playlist and tries to remove duplicates via a playlist trackId
Use with caution, I have tested this on my own playlists, but please start small with a few tests in your library. I am not responsible for any damage to your library
- Download the script: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cfebs/gmusicplaylistdupes/master/kill_playlist_dupes.py
pip install gmusicapipython kill_playlist_dupes.py
Once you have gmusicapi installed, you can also use this oneliner:
python <(curl -sL 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cfebs/gmusicplaylistdupes/master/kill_playlist_dupes.py')
Output will look something like this:
Processing playlist "Ska"
Found 64 dupe tracks out of 96 total in playlist "Ska"
Clean this up? (y/N) n
Moving on...
================================================================================
Processing playlist "Quality Hip-Hop"
Found 128 dupe tracks out of 192 total in playlist "Quality Hip-Hop"
Clean this up? (y/N) y
Removed 128 entries
User input is required to confirm track deletion.
If you would like to test without hitting the api every time, you can create a dump of the playlist response:
GMUSIC_WRITE_TEST_FILE=~/playlist_test.json python kill_playlist_dupes.py
And then you may use this test dump json to test the duplication prompts and output:
GMUSIC_DUPE_TEST_FILE=~/playlist_test.json python kill_playlist_dupes.py
To show individual unique and duplicate track information while processing playlists
GMUSIC_DUPE_SHOW_TEST_INFO=1 python kill_playlist_dupes.py
Note: additional track information (artist, album, title) is printed if available. for some reason certain playlists do not have this information, in this case only the
trackidis printed.
