That deprecation was a catalyst to move my music collection elsewhere, so it's not threatened by the whims of Google anymore.
- freedomben 5y agoMakes a ton of sense. I almost bailed for the same reason. It was such a ridiculous downgrade. I just barely (today actually) got back a super important feature to me that Play Music had years ago: Save a queue as a playlist. If this private API gets a C&D or gets aggressively broken, I absolutely will bail too.
- Aachen 5y agoFwiw I've played with the Spotify api before for managing playlists in my account and that was not complicated. The GDPR export is also computer-readable (json) though it takes a literal month (sleep(rand(10,20)*days) for the initial set, then contact support to also get the "diagnostic" data associated with your account and wait some more). But it's probably more work for you to switch than it's worth.
