Convert listening history into a portable playlist

Source-backed example. Practical decision guidance is proposed and untested; this is not a full implementation guide.

The problem

Listening history and track lists are less useful when they cannot be carried into the service where someone wants to listen.

Agent job

Match ListenBrainz history or a supplied track list to Tidal, supporting a dry run and playlist-transfer export.

Expected output

Playlist matches, a transfer export or a destination playlist.

Why use this

A listener may have a useful history or track list that does not directly transfer to their preferred music service. Similar titles, alternate recordings and unavailable releases can make automatic matching produce a playlist that feels unexpectedly different.
This job could prepare a reviewable match list and portable export before touching a destination account. Showing version choices and unresolved tracks lets the listener decide which substitutions are acceptable.

Why an agent / simpler alternative

Useful judgment: Compare title, artist and release/version evidence, distinguishing exact matches from plausible alternatives.
Simpler alternative: Use a trusted transfer service or manual search when the playlist is short and unambiguous.
Unsuitable when: The task needs unauthorized account access or silently substitutes recordings that matter to the listener.

Proposed inputs

Name
Listening history or list
Owner
Listener
Minimum scope
Selected tracks with artist and available release metadata
Quality check
Normalize duplicates while preserving intentional repeats
Name
Matching preferences
Owner
Listener
Minimum scope
Rules for live, remastered, explicit and alternate versions
Quality check
Specify acceptable substitutions rather than infer them

Access and setup — proposed or unknown

Proposed minimum: Use a supplied list and fictional destination catalogue first; no music-service login, API token or playlist creation.
Compatibility unknowns: Current catalogue availability, regional restrictions, API support and runtime compatibility are unknown.
External actions requiring approval: Account connections, history disclosure, destination playlist writes and sharing exports require authorization.

Expected deliverable and review checks

Proposed artifact: Dry-run track mapping with exact/uncertain/unavailable status and proposed transfer export fields.
Critical checks: Check artist and version, not title alone; preserve order; keep unavailable tracks visible; avoid presenting candidates as created playlists.
Missing output evidence: This overlay adds no new output inspection, execution or validation; consult the referenced canonical source outcome limits.

Failure signals and proposed responses

Signal
A live recording replaces the studio track
Why it matters
The match changes the intended listening experience
Proposed response
Flag the version difference and request a substitution choice.
Signal
Regional availability is assumed from a search result
Why it matters
The destination may not play the selected recording
Proposed response
Leave availability unverified until an authorized account check.

Effort and cost — unknown

Setup work: Define matching tolerances and list-order rules.
Ongoing review: Review uncertain matches and catalogue changes.
Unknowns: Regional access, transfer limits, subscription needs and service costs are unknown.

First check — proposed, unexecuted

Status: proposed_unexecuted
Synthetic fixture: Invent five tracks with two same-title recordings, a remaster and one unavailable release; propose a match table.
Acceptance checks: Identify version ambiguity; preserve unresolved entries; retain order; create no playlist.
Stop conditions: Stop when a match requires guessing or credentials/account changes are requested.

Limits

A catalogue match does not guarantee playback availability, ownership rights or equivalence between recordings.

Tasks: Audio & video Documents & files

Useful for: Personal and household Musician

Editorial candidate. This is source-backed reporting or a documented workflow. BotCurrent has not independently tested this task. A proposed Canadian adaptation is not evidence of a Canadian deployment or compliance certification.
