I’ve been compiling a list of focus inducing songs on Deezer. My method is to vet a random playlist by listening to it during an intense coding session. If I can make it through without getting distracted I add it to my focus playlist. I have a subsequent vetting process where - if at any point when listening to a song on my focus playlist - a song grabs my attention I’ll remove it. It’s grown to over 75 hours of mus…

> It’s grown to over 75 hours of music at this point. I can listen to it for days on shuffle without hearing anything familiar which helps keep it in the background. > https://deezer.page.link/JChycwJz7ArqGDtRA Is there any way to export the list (csv, Google Sheets, etc.)?

Here it is in JSON: https://api.deezer.com/playlist/9054155762?index=0&limit=200...

The tracks are under .tracks.data[]

Fair enough. I'm pretty coupled to Spotify's ecosystem so for anyone on Spotify here's the first 200 songs: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0IcZx8V66DzI2apfnutcvq I used a service (soundiiz) that only allows 200 songs to be converted for free.

I've currently got Soundiiz Premium - converted it to an Apple Music playlist (1810 tracks, https://music.apple.com/gb/playlist/focus/pl.u-PJD9BskgpYKR ) and a Spotify playlist (1827 tracks, https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0OFXAFqVC5A5yJMp7gxDTs )

This is awesome, thank you for doing this. Have never seen soundiiz before - looks cool. Does it automatically keep these playlists in sync with Deezer as I change the original?

That's great, thanks for sharing! However you will soon hit the 2000 songs limit on the playlist, if Deezer did not remove it already.

Why do they delete it?? Why not just stop the addition of more tracks. I'm not a customer but I'd really be pissed if a service would delete my data this way.

While I think this is a really cool product with incredible art assets, I just can't see myself paying $4 monthly (or $100 once) for a number of looping videos, a spotify playlist, customizable audio effects, and a few productivity tools, most of which could be stored in the user's browser, and most of which have better, free alternatives. As a user I'd probably feel more comfortable handing over closer to $1/mo, but…

Yeah I wouldn't pay a recurrent fee for this at all. Though I'd pay 20 bucks once-off easily. Unless they had regular new content or something. Why does everything have to be a service?

I guess what OP meant was that Deezer might have removed the limit, not the playlist.

Thanks a lot, I use mainly YT Music, can you convert the playlist to it too?

Looks like Soundiiz does have a "scheduled sync" option (although it only allows adding to an Apple Music playlist destination.) Although it'll eventually stop because I'm not sure I'll keep paying for premium... :)

I've downloaded few mixes with relaxing music from YT and created a playlist in my foobar, it's simple and it doesn't require browser. I also recommend some radio streams: https://somafm.com http://echoesofbluemars.org/ https://plaza.one/

Somafm’s DEF CON channel is factually the best working music.

Thanks for this! I checked it out and it works surprisingly well for me.

My egotistical statement paid off! Glad to hear it.
