PMJA Review Exporter: Backup your reviews/ratings

 

I developed a little program that automatically exports all your reviews/ratings in text files and your avatar image on your computer, for the 3 websites of the network (Prog Archives, Metal Music Archives and Jazz Music Archives). I called it the "PMJA Review Exporter". The functioning is very easy:

 

1) Select the website (PA, MMA or JMA)

2a) For PA, fetch your reviewer ID from your reviewer page (the ID is the last number)

For example, my reviewer page is http://www.progarchives.com/Collaborators.asp?id=11816

=> my reviewer ID is 11816

- Enter your reviewer ID in the interface

2b) For MMA or JMA, enter your reviewer name (case insensitive)

3) Click on "EXPORT"

-> The program will automatically:

   * Export every review/rating in a specific text file per album

   * Export all your reviews/ratings in a single general file "_ALL_REVIEWS.txt"

   * Export your avatar image in file "_AVATAR.jpg"

You can get the last version, 1.0, for Windows, here (right-click, save as...):

 

* Rename "PMJAReviewExporter_1.0.jpg" to "PMJAReviewExporter_1.0.zip",

* Be sure to unzip the file first,

* Double-click on "PMJAReviewExporter.exe",

* If Windows asks you to confirm the execution, say yes,

* All the files will be downloaded in:

   "<your_windows_download_directory>/PMJA_REVIEWS/<reviewer_name>/<website>".

 

Please bear in mind that the data fetch speed depends on your internet connection.

The program is for Windows only (sorry Mac fans) and only takes ~400 kb.
