I recently started trying Ubuntu One music streaming and now it feels good. However I have a problem here: I used to have several long playlists for myself in Rhythmbox (300-500 songs each playlist, in my favored order), and I really liked to play songs from the playlist instead of shuffling all songs.

So, I wonder if I can upload my playlist to Ubuntu One music, or make a same playlist on Ubuntu One Music without dragging songs one by one. Is it possible to do this in Rhythmbox or do it by uploading some m3u playlist file? Or maybe some other method? Please suggest me any method that can "copy" my playlist to Ubuntu One music.

Thanks very much!

I have a script which will convert an M3U to an Ubuntu One playlist (and dump an Ubuntu One playlist to an M3U). You can download it at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~sil/+junk/m3u2u1ms/files. Requires Ubuntu 12.04 or better. Let me know if it doesn't work for you.

  • Thanks sil, I tried your script by type "python m3u2u1ms Music.m3u" in the terminal, and I have the following output: wei@wei-air:~/Downloads$ python m3u2u1ms Music.m3u Scanning songs Finding Ubuntu One identifiers for songs 90 songs correctly identified from playlist Looking for an existing playlist 'Music'... [{'id': u'01768f89-891a-47c3-a170-fe5e3ff9b8fc', 'name': u'Music'}] Found an existing playlist: updating it got result <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <subsonic-response xmlns="subsonic.org/restapi" status="ok" version="1.2.0"> </subsonic-response>

  • Could you find any reason the these errors? actually I had different output for different m3u files...and none of them was successfully created. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

  • It's printing stuff that it shouldn't (I left some debugging statements in, oops); can you check with the web music player to see if it thinks that they're being created?

  • Hi sil, the playlist was created, however it was empty (since they had error during the process?).

  • Hm, that's obviously not supposed to happen. Does it fail the same way every time?
