Moving from Musicboard
Musicboard has no export of its own, but your ratings and reviews can still come with you.
- Musicboard-Scraper, a free tool someone else wrote, saves the ratings and reviews on your public Musicboard profile as a CSV file. It needs Python and Musicboard to be up; its page says how to run it. sleeves has nothing to do with it.
- Upload the CSV it makes (the ratings one) to sleeves.
- Each album is matched against MusicBrainz in the background, about a second each, so a thousand ratings take around twenty minutes. You can close the page. Reviews become notes and dates are kept. Anything that cannot be matched is listed so you can find it by hand.

What carries over
- Half-star scores, from 1 to 5. A half star on Musicboard comes over as 1.
- Reviews, kept as notes on each listen.
- Lists, numbered as a ranking if you like, with a note on each album. A Top Four on your profile, following, and blocking.
What is different
- Your diary is yours. Settings downloads all of it as a CSV whenever you want, no tools needed.
- It is a website, so it works on any phone or computer. Add it to your home screen from your browser's share menu and it opens like an app.
- For you and taste match are built from your own scores and the people you follow.
- Critics' scores sit beside people's on every album.
What sleeves does not have yet
- The catalog comes from MusicBrainz. Very obscure or physical-only releases can be missing; you can add them to MusicBrainz and they show up here.
- Genres are MusicBrainz tags rather than voted genres, and moods are a short list you vote on with a tap, not open descriptors.
- Scores for single tracks. You can mark your favourite tracks on an album with a heart, and the most loved ones are charted.
