This is so sad. That we have already forgotten how easy this is. And that we do not see that data integration is an obvious case for open standards and development.

Back in the "bad" (aka glorious) days of p2p file sharing we had no problems keeping things straight. Even Windows XP natively knows how media libraries work. Any service that makes this hard will be at a disadvantage to ones that make it easy, and maybe get roasted in court on GDPR grounds.

The only reason services do not offer you data export in an easily digestible format is that they want you to stay in the app.
