Coming from Rate Your Music

Bring your albums with you

Taste Buds reads what you’ve logged and learns your taste: across films, series, books, music and games, with the odds you’ll like what’s next. Your Rate Your Music history comes over in a few minutes, so you start with a profile, not an empty page.

What comes over

  • Every album you've rated, with your review (ratings out of ten become half stars)
  • Albums without a rating, as cards you confirm

How

  1. On Rate Your Music, open your profile and choose Export your data
  2. Upload the CSV here
  3. Your albums are matched on MusicBrainz in the background; your taste profile appears as it goes

What Taste Buds adds

  • Films, series, books and games on the same profile, so your taste is read across all of it
  • The odds you'll like an album before you play it, from what you've rated
  • NPR's New Music Friday picks and each week's releases on your calendar
  • Your Last.fm listening, if you connect it

Worth knowing

  • RYM's charts, genre tree and catalogue of releases are far deeper than ours.
  • Albums are matched on MusicBrainz, so a very obscure release may not come over.
  • We only read the file you upload. Nothing changes on Rate Your Music.

Free, and your Rate Your Music account stays as it is.
