Imported "favourite tracks" playlist is inverted order

Hi @freya_irl probably you have use “Tune  My Music” to transfer your content from Spotify to Deezer.

That might be a bug/gap in that import, so I will need to bring this to our developers. 

Can you send us a short video or screenshots to show the evidences of that behaviour?

How did you transfer your playlist?Did you use third party?

That is usually the case.

Try with Muzconvtool. 

I have the very same problem! I switched to Deezer from Spotify and used the official Import feature that came aloong with the registration on the deezer website.

However, I am really frustrated as newly added favourites end up at the end of my favourites playlist. This is a big no-no for me and I am thinking of leaving Deezer before the end of my trial period.

Same issue here, I guess I’ll have to start again and import my 2500 songs one by one to have an “added date” in the correct order. What a shame, you’re not really helping us to migrate from Spotify.

Cannot believe this is still an issue… Considering cancelling as well.

It’s great since I can’t delete the all songs to start again. You can select and tell it to delete, but nothing happens.

Had to make a python script to delete everything. 

I’ve found a manual solution, by importing songs 100 by 100 (instead of one by one).

It can be done in ~30min.

1️⃣ Clean your liked songs

First you need to delete all your liked songs to start from zero. It’s not an easy task as Deezer won’t allow to remove more than 999 songs from a playlist at once.

On the Deezer web app:

• On the liked songs search, type in one letter to filter less than 1000 songs: z, x, y, b, a
• Select all songs with the checkbox on the right
• Use the ... on the left of that checkbox to select “Remove from favorite tracks”. The same menu shows the number of currently selected songs.
• Repeat until you have no more songs

2️⃣ Import songs

Now, to import songs in the correct order, the issue comes from TuneMyMusic which transfers them by batches of 100 in the correct order.
 

On Spotify Desktop app:

• Keep the order you want on your liked songs
• Select the last song of the list, press Shift and select the 100th previous song. It will select all songs in-between. (If the last song was the 1312th of the list, you need to select the 1213rd one)
• Right-click and create a new playlist
• If needed, you can rename it with its number 1, 2, 3...
• Select the 101th previous song, and continue creating playlists 100 by 100

On TuneMyMusic:

• Import from Spotify
• Unselect all playlists except the first one of previously created ones
• On the selected playlist, click the edit button
• From the destination dropdown, choose to transfer to “liked songs”
• Launch the transfer!
• Repeat with all previously created playlists, one by one

AdrianH, you wonderful soul.

I wish had I read this response before I embarked on my horrible Deezer Transfer journey.

I came back to update this Forum with my workaround method (exactly the same as yours - but automated)!

I went through so much trial and error to try and understand why the songs get jumbled.

I tried both Songshift (premium subscription) and Deezer’s native TuneMyMusic, both fail with large numbers of songs, no matter what you do.

I came to the same conclusion that you did, it’s likely the number of songs that break these tools, so we have to split the songs up. I chose by 100’s as well.

Rather than do it manually, I made some scripts to do this.

• There is one script to delete all playlists using headed playwright one-by one.
  • This is very jank and slow - requires some supervision, removes around a song a second.
  • The web app DOES NOT let me select and delete more than like 5 favorites.
  • If you can do AdrienH’s method I think that’s genuinely faster.
• There is a better script that uses the spotify API to split all the songs up (saves a lot of time!)
• I manually transferred the 14 100-song playlists I had using Deezer’s TuneMyMusic, not too laborious.

If anyone has a huge number of songs to transfer and some python knowledge, feel free to use my scripts.
