Spicetify VS ListenBrainz

There's spicetify, which you can use to remove podcasts from and customize the UI of the desktop client: https://github.com/spicetify/spicetify-cli. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

What about spicetify? It is FOSS and has an adblock extension which works flawlessly. Source: about 1 year ago

If your on desktop use SpotX, or you cant use Spicetify, the only downside of spicetify is that you cant queue songs unless you already have premium but atleast its highly customizable. Source: about 1 year ago

Depending on what annoys you about the official client, modding it using Spicetify might be a solution. Source: over 1 year ago

Another solution for Windows Mac and Linux is spicetify-cli with this extension. Source: over 1 year ago

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
