Moving music library informations from Google Play Music to Plex Music

I’ve been using Google Play Music for a couple of years and now my library has more than 20k songs.
A month ago I bought a Synology NAS from which I’m running Plex. I’d like to use it just like I use Google Play Music, so I downloaded all the songs in my library with Music Manager (the program, provided by Google, used for uploading/downloading songs), moved the files to my NAS and scanned the library with Plex. Everything works perfectly and I love it.

GPM has a Number of Plays feature. I really like to know how many times I listened to a song. I saw that Plex has that feature too, but every song in my Plex library has 0 as numer of plays. I’ve never listened to any song in Plex because I was using GPM.

Is there a way to extract that info from GPM and load into Plex?

In the .xml file attached to each song there’s a viewCount parameter. Is there a way to edit that .xml file?
If there isn’t any program to do this, I can do it manually by editing the .xml file (if it is possible).

I’d like to import my playlists too.

Thanks for any help!

NAS: Synology DS218Play
Plex Version: 1.13.6.176
DSM Version: 6.2.1-23824
(I know they are not up to date, but there’s the only way I managed to get Plex working with an ARMv8 processor. ARMv8 platform alpha testing - Synology and QNAP)

Ok, I understand that.

Thank you for the fast reply!

You can export your data using Google Takeout:

In there, you see your playlist and, if I remember correctly, also the play count.
