Cannot import listenbrainz history

[whysofurious1]

First of, thanks for the app, I really appreciate its existence :)

As per title, I downloaded my listenbrainz data but I am unable to import into my docker-based maloja instance. Doesn't matter what I do, I cannot import it with the new method of placing it into the import folder. It seems to be similar to this comment #393 (comment).

For simplicity I am going to copy the commenter's description:

Listenbrainz outputs a folder with user.json file and a "listens" directory, where each year of scrobbles is sorted into individual sub-directories with a .jsonl file per month.

In my case this is /listens/2025/3.jsonl

I also tried to convert the jsonl into a regular json, but the logs always say that 3.jsonl could not be identified as a valid import source. I also tried renaming it, but to no avail.

Since the comment was on a closed older thread, I decided to open a new issue, hope it's ok, and thank you again :)

In the meantime, I wrote a small script that should do the job on a basic level (convert an export from ListenBrainz to something similar to a Ghant export). Unfortunately, I am only proficient in R, so it's an R script, but feel free to use it or convert it. Of course it would be nice to have an in-built solution :) The code is on sourcehut.

On a different note, setting up Navidrome -> Listenbrainz -> Multiscrobbler -> Maloja works perfectly.

Many thanks @whysofurious1! It works perfectly. And also glad to see the script coded in R :)

Adding a +1 to this issue. Downloaded my ListenBrainz stats and am just completely unable to import them in their current form.

The script that @whysofurious1 posted does work, but isn't ideal due to how it handles data scrobbled to ListenBrainz from Last.FM.
