File Scraper

Upload a .txt, .csv, .m3u, or .xspf file — including playlist exports from DJ software like Serato and rekordbox, or players like VLC and foobar2000 — and turn it directly into a Spotify playlist, entirely in your browser.

How does File Scraper work?

Upload a .txt or .csv file of "Artist — Track" lines and Track Down parses it in your browser using the File API, then runs the exact same matching engine used by every other source — nothing is uploaded to a server, the file never leaves your device except to query Spotify's search API.

Steps

  1. 1Click the file picker and choose a .txt or .csv file from your device.
  2. 2Track Down reads the file directly in your browser using the FileReader API — the raw file is never uploaded anywhere.
  3. 3The file's text is split into lines and parsed the same way as the Textbox source, splitting each line on an em dash, en dash, or hyphen.
  4. 4Each parsed track is matched and scored against Spotify, then you review and save the confident matches.

Frequently asked questions

What file formats does this accept?

Plain text (.txt) or comma-separated values (.csv), as long as the content is "Artist — Track" lines. Track Down doesn't parse spreadsheet-specific CSV columns — it treats the whole file as text lines.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. The file is read entirely in your browser using the File API. Only the parsed artist/track text is sent onward, to Spotify's own search API, using your Spotify token — the file itself never leaves your device.

Is there a file size limit?

No explicit limit is enforced by Track Down, though very large files will take proportionally longer since every line is searched against Spotify individually.
