Import your music library from a streaming service, reload a saved collection file, or let the service read anything with music in it.
A chatbot's playlist suggestions, a tracklist, a magazine article, or just names of songs and artists, in any language. You can also drop or paste a screenshot anywhere in this box.
A screenshot, a saved web page or a text file. Drop or paste it anywhere in this box.
A public page with a playlist, a tracklist or an article. It has to be open to everyone: a page behind a login, or your own library on a streaming service, cannot be read.
Your collection is imported into Libs-to-Clips as a text file. This allows you to browse it and edit if necessary. However, please make sure that you follow the format recognized by the service if you make any modifications.
Your collection contains Songs and Artists, each defined in their respective section.
Songs section starts from SONGS header and contains songs within the lines between separator =====. Each song is defined on its own line, which has the artist name and the song title separated by <->. If a line within the Songs section does not have separator <-> then it will be ignored by the service.
Artists section starts from ARTISTS header and contains artists within the lines between separator =======. Each artist is defined on its own line, which has the artist name and a songs count separated by <->. The songs count is how many top songs of this artist the service will search for while making a playlist. X means the default count from the search config ("Default songs per artist" in the Advanced options of the playlist page); imported artists always start with X. A number instead of X pins the count for this artist; a pinned count is still limited by "Maximum songs per artist" from the same options. If you imported artists from a streaming service library you will also see their identifiers from the artists catalogue between square brackets ([]). The value before the colon (:) specifies the catalogue and the value after is the artist identifier. Artist identifiers are optional, but they will help in finding the right artist while making a playlist if the same artist catalogue is used. If an artist has significant presence in your collection it will be marked as [+], which will mean that while making a playlist the service will also try searching for similar artists. The [+] marker will follow right after the songs count or the X. If a line within the Artists section does not have separator <-> or the value after it is neither a number nor X then it will be ignored by the service.
The format is understood best by an example. If you just want to try the service without importing anything you can download this example to get an idea of how a collection might look like.
Save your changes to use them in this session, download the file to keep them for later, then proceed to create a playlist based on your collection.
