+# lb_import
+
+[ListenBrainz](https://listenbrainz.org) allows you to export your scrobbles as a .json file. This tool allows you to import them back into an account.
+
+## Usage
+
+lb_import depends on [pylistenbrainz](https://github.com/paramsingh/pylistenbrainz).
+
+Once the dependency is installed you can run an import with the following command:
+
+`lb_import.py MY-API-KEY scrobbles.json`
+
+Importing the same dump multiple times will not create duplicates.
