Rominimal Playlist Export: How to Download Your Rating History
Every track you rate on rominimal.club gets stored. Your rominimal playlist builds up over weeks and months — hundreds of entries, each tagged with your energy-level rating, each one a decision you made about what matters to you sonically. The export feature lets you pull all of that metadata out as a single JSON file. Artist names, labels, your ratings — structured and portable.
If you’ve been rating tracks through our Telegram bot, you already have a playlist waiting. Here’s how to export it.
What You Get
When you export, the bot compiles everything you’ve rated into a structured JSON file. That includes:
- artist name, track title, label
- your energy-level rating (#v1 through #v5)
- when you rated it
- BPM and duration where available
It’s a snapshot of your entire listening history on rominimal.club, formatted in a way that’s readable by humans and parseable by software. You can open it in any text editor, import it into a spreadsheet, or feed it into DJ tools.
How to Export Your Rominimal Playlist
Two steps. That’s it.
Step 1: Open the Bot
Start a conversation with the CrossFader bot on Telegram: @xFadeBot. If you’ve been rating tracks, you already know this bot. If you’re new, this is also where you rate tracks, browse what others are rating, and interact with the rominimal.club community.
Step 2: Type /export
Send /export to the bot. It pulls your ratings, builds the file, and sends it back. The download is immediate. No queue, no email, no waiting.
Your playlist is now on your device.
What the JSON File Looks Like
Here’s a simplified version of the output structure:
{
"playlist": {
"name": "My Rominimal Collection",
"total_tracks": 247,
"created_date": "2024-02-28",
"tracks": [
{
"id": "12345",
"artist": "Priku",
"title": "World Of Nothing",
"label": "Winder",
"bpm": 120,
"duration_minutes": 6.5,
"rating": 5,
"energy_level": "#v5",
"rated_date": "2024-02-15"
},
{
"id": "12346",
"artist": "Arapu",
"title": "Acompanado",
"label": "Rawax Records",
"bpm": 118,
"duration_minutes": 5.8,
"rating": 4,
"energy_level": "#v4",
"rated_date": "2024-02-14"
}
]
}
}
Each track entry carries the metadata you’d need to find it again and slot it into a set. From there, track down the release and buy it. The energy_level field maps directly to the #v1–#v5 rating system used across rominimal.club, so your curation choices stay intact outside the platform.
Using Your Exported Playlist
The file is JSON, which means it plays nicely with almost anything. A few ways people actually use these exports:
Sequencing DJ Sets
Sort by energy level and you’ve got a rough set structure already sketched out. #v2 tracks for the opening hour, build through #v3 and #v4 in the middle, hit #v5 at the peak, then bring it back down. The ratings you gave while casually listening become the architecture of a live set. If you’re thinking about how to work rominimal tracks into your DJ workflow, the export is where preparation meets the decks.
Tracking What You Like and Why
Export a few times over several months and you’ll start seeing patterns. Which labels keep showing up in your #v5 ratings. Which artists you consistently rate high. Whether your taste is drifting toward deeper, slower material or higher-energy stuff. It’s not analytics — it’s just your own data, readable.
Sharing Selections
Send the file to another DJ or a friend who’s getting into rominimal. They can see exactly what you rated and how you rated it. It’s more useful than a “top 10” list because it includes context — the energy level, the label, the date. It says something about your taste without you having to explain it.
Backing Up Your Curation Work
Streaming platforms don’t let you take your listening data with you. If you’ve spent months rating tracks on rominimal.club, that work shouldn’t be locked inside a chat window. The export makes it portable. Save the file wherever you keep important things. It’s yours.
Importing Into DJ Software
Rekordbox, Traktor, Serato — most DJ platforms can work with structured data if you format it right. The JSON gives you the raw material. BPM, duration, artist, title. From there you can build playlists in your software of choice, pre-sort by tempo, and know that every track in the list has already passed your personal filter.
Your Data, Your Curation
The point of the export is straightforward: you did the work of listening and rating, so you should own that data. Your rominimal playlist isn’t locked behind our platform. It’s a file on your phone or laptop — every rating, every energy tag, every artist and title — portable and yours.
Open @xFadeBot, type /export, and take your ratings with you.
