bummer. There goes allll my playlists.
- Vekz 11y agoSame here. I've kind of dreaded this day and thought why is there no standardized 'playlist protocol' or playlist format that music services could share. This is like the 4th time I've had an old music service shut down and lost all my playlists with no migration path.
- TehCorwiz 11y agoThere is a standard (more-or-less) playlist format: m3u. The trick is convincing services to implement export of that information.
- Joky 11y agoThe problem may be that the m3u would contains artist name, song title, and position in the playlist, and even if you could export this, it would not be very robust to import somewhere else.
- agumonkey 11y agoPlaylists aren't illegal, what are the odds of a possibility for extraction ?
- FooNull 11y agoWell considering that they've handed over the servers and data to the plaintiffs... you probably shouldn't hold your breath
- kozed 11y agoI've always noticed random songs disappearing from my collection but procrastinated doing anything about it. I wrote a script two weeks ago to download my entire collection to avoid potentially losing some really great songs. Talk about good timing. I always knew grooveshark would be temporary and possibly unreliable but I did not expect an unannounced closure with no ability to extract our collection metadata.
