Re-name and re-structure google play music takeout to be plex friendly.

Google Play Music Takeout to Plex

A tool for restructuring Google Play Music Takeout to a plex (and human)-friendly format.

This tool comes with zero garuntees. I recommend testing on a small subset of audio files before attempting it on a full takeout library.

The first step of the tool scrapes all of the google play CSV files and turns them in to one main csv. This will be output even during dry run, and can be used on its own in this way.

Usage

python takeout_converter.py --takeout-tracks-directory 'google_extract/Takeout/Google Play Music/Tracks/'

Options

Options

name	type	required	description
-i/–takeout-tracks-directory	string	yes	the directory containing extracted takeout files (audio files and csv files
dry-run	any value	no	skip actually operating on files if anything is passed. Will still output the main-csv file.
move-files	any value	no	moves files instead of copying them. Useful if you have limited space.
main-csv	string	no	filepath to a csv that combines all play takeout files. Mostly for debugging. CSV that can be used here is output by the program.
output-directory	string	no	Directory to which to move or copy the audio files. defaults to ‘out’

Output

The tool scrapes the google play music CSVs and the audio files’ metadata.

Actual metadata is prioritized, but if metadata is missing but is present in the CSV (artist, album, track name), it will be added to the audio file.

Files are then moved to directories underneath out, or the supplied takeout-tracks-directory location.

The directory structure follows Plex music directory and file naming.

Based on play csvs and file metadata, they will be structured to be: ArtistName/AlbumName/TrackNumber - TrackName.ext
