• Analyzing Spotify Stream History

  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 / 4 months ago

• EP Showing Twice

  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: 9 months ago

• Seeking Feedback: Tracking Vinyl Listening History

  Thanks for sharing, yea listenbrainz.org has been doing some great work. Also has an API which can make things interesting. Source: 11 months ago

• Non-Reddit Ways to find new MV releases?

  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.

• Last.fm is slowly becoming more and more irritating to use

  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: 12 months ago

• What do you guys use to play music on the go?

  I also use Roon, which is a little complicated to describe here. Basically I have my own home server with music on, and then I can use the Roon ARC app to access it on the go, similar to above (and is similar to PlexAmp mentioned elsewhere here). Source: 12 months ago

• Better sound than AppleTV 4K driving KEF LS50Ws?

  You might want to give roon or audirvana a try. Source: about 1 year ago

• Just bought a house with multi room speakers. Help?

  You may also want to look into Room depending how far down the rabbit hole you want to go https://roonlabs.com/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Poor schemas, poor cataloguing: why music tagging sucks

  Roon handles metadata and relationships between entities the least bad of anything I’ve tried. It’ll do things like link covers and live performances of the same song together, or let you group multiple issues of the same album and switch between them. It’s not cheap, and it takes some effort to fix some bad source data, but I’ve found it very rewarding and get a ton of enjoyment exploring my library now.... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• iOS 16.3 Code Reveals Apple Continues to Work on Classical Music App

  Take a look at Roon. It's pricing and mobile limitations are disqualifications for me, but it's tagging is simply phenomenal. Source: over 1 year ago
