Google Music Dupe Killer
Really small scripts designed to remove pesky duplicates from Google Music.
** The duplicates must have all correct meta data as this evaluates their title and album for detection.
Thanks to simon weber for a GREAT client library that made this super easy to code.
Usage
These are incredibly simple scripts, but do require a few small configurations.
Install Unofficial Google Music Api
-
For most environments with Python 3 already installed:
$ pip install gmusicapi -
If you do not have pip or are running windows, please see Unofficial Google Music API usage
Change login credentials
- Near line 12 in the script, change the 'username' and 'password' to your Google account credentials.
- Alternatively, create an empty file called 'credentials.py' in the script directory and set the username and password variables there.
# credentials.py
username = '[email protected]'
password = 'changeme'
#android_id = 'deadbeefc0decafe'-
NOTE: Users with 2-step authentication enabled will have to create an App Specific Key/Password. Login into your Google account and head to https://security.google.com/settings/security/apppasswords, there you will be able to manually generate an App Specific password. After creating the Key/Password, just use it to login into this App, together with your usual Google username/email.
-
NOTE: If you see the error message "a valid MAC could not be determined." you are running into a known issue with the Google Music API. To workaround, set a new 16 digit hexadecimal number as your android_id on line 17 or in credentials.py.
Run kill_dupes
- The script will automatically detect and remove duplicates on any songs in your library.
Run kill_playlist_dupes
- This script works on one playlist at a time and removes the second through nth duplicate of a track in a playlist.
Thanks!
