ListenBrainz VS MusicBrainz

There's also ListenBrainz, run by the MusicBrainz org, which offers similar functionality without API restrictions or other paid features that Last.FM tries to push. https://listenbrainz.org/ If you wish to use your scrobble data at all programmatically this is a far better tool to use. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

If you really <3 clean data you can give listenbrainz.org a go (you can scrobble to that and last.fm concurrently so no need to ‘jump ship’). Source: 8 months ago

Thanks for sharing, yea listenbrainz.org has been doing some great work. Also has an API which can make things interesting. Source: 10 months ago

One way I keep up is using https://listenbrainz.org/ to track my listening habits. Then when you're logged in https://listenbrainz.org/explore/fresh-releases/ will show new releases from artists you listen to, and with KPop you can assume there is video(s) to go with each new release so I just go to youtube then to find them.

Spotify at least was the problem when there was tons of people complaining daily. But if last.fm is the problem now and otherwise you could try https://listenbrainz.org/ as well. You can even import your last.fm history. Source: 11 months ago

It is really cool and useful. Interesting that you were able to gather enough data from users to make it work. I guess it was much less useful in the beginning? I thought of making something similar with data from https://musicbrainz.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

What do you use to tag your music? I imagine if you use a consistent piece of software (mp3tag, musicbrainz picard), they're going to do it the same way. Or for example, maybe musicbrainz.org allows people to enter metadata in their database in UTF-8, so it's possible you might get different answers from there even though you're using a standard piece of software. I imagine something like picard could use a search... Source: 5 months ago

The MusicBrainz database usually has hq versions of most covers. Source: 10 months ago

When it comes to MusicBrainzPicard, it pulls data directly from https://musicbrainz.org/. If you are finding music you have that isn't listed in the database, you could help out by contributing to the database so that everyone gets access to that music. Source: 10 months ago

While this doesn't help with replacing the discussion you get on reddit, might I suggest people spend some time contributing to their favourite artists on https://musicbrainz.org/ ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musicbrainz )? Many services & apps use MusicBrainz data, so you could help your favourites by making sure the information for their entries on MusicBrainz is as complete and accurate as possible!
