ListenBrainz - Track and share the music you listen to (lemmy.world)

Hello everyone

Yes I know, a few months ago a post with the exact same title was shared in this community by @[email protected]. But this was at a time when lemmy was still quite small. I would like to give the topic new momentum.

From their wiki:

ListenBrainz is a project by the MetaBrainz foundation which allows you to publicly store a record of all of the songs that you listen to. Using this data, we provide statistics, recommendations, and a platform for you and other developers to explore this data.

Many of you probably use a music streaming service. You share your user data with the company anyway, and some of it with others. If you feel like it, you can make your data available to the general public and help other open source apps to build their services on this data.

As someone who has used Last.fm for 19 years but lately looking for better music discovery options, I'll give this a go.

You can import all your data natively!

That's a big reason why I'm giving it a go! Currently importing page 1200 of 1800.

Definitely going to check this out when I get home.

Aside from last.fm, can it connect+import history from other services, like Spotify?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Yes spotify is supported as well. Unfortunately Tidal isn't. But if you are on linux and you are using Tidal you could download the tidal-hifi client which bas a listenbrainz integration or you could download the listenbrainz app which can sync data from multiple clients including all music streaming services, newpipe, odysee, ...
