Social recommendations and mentions

• Why media fans want to escape algorithms with CDs, DVDs and vinyl

  > I do wish I could figure out some sort of recommendation system to find new magic, though. Obviously not to steam new/unowned songs, just to point me in a direction next time I go to the store. Navidrome can scrobble to https://listenbrainz.org/ which has a recommendations mechanism Or set up "soulsync" and just use the library scanning, scrobbling, and recommendations / artist watching features if you don't... - Source: Hacker News / about 7 hours ago

• Why media fans want to escape algorithms with CDs, DVDs and vinyl

  Https://listenbrainz.org/ is an open source alternative to Last.fm that I can confirm works with Navidrome. You can also self host it if you would prefer to keep your listen history private. - Source: Hacker News / about 7 hours ago

• RSS Feeds for Last.fm

  ListenBrainz[0] is a decent alternative if you don't want to self-host. You can import your Last.fm scrobbles there pretty easily. [0]: https://listenbrainz.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 days ago

• I archived 10 years of memories using Spotify

  Https://listenbrainz.org/ or last.fm are better if you actually want to track these things. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• 2002: Last.fm and Audioscrobbler Herald the Social Web

  Https://listenbrainz.org/ is an open source scrobbler, with the advantage that it leverages the musicbrainz database and connects listens to artist and track IDs instead of names, avoiding duplicate confusion. You can keep last.fm and submit to both of you like. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Goodbye, Slopify

  For people moving off Spotify, have a look at https://listenbrainz.org. You can sync your listens to there and it will give you weekly recommendations. From my experience so far they are decent. Note they don't host songs themselves, but will auto-search youtube/bandcamp/etc. And play the closest match. So YMMV. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• The Open Music Encyclopedia

  It really is an incredible resource, and Picard is a wonderful app. Very satisfying getting a library properly tagged! Takes a while, but totally worth it. Shoutout to ListenBrainz as well, their scrobbling service: https://listenbrainz.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• 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 / over 2 years 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: about 3 years 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: about 3 years 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: over 3 years ago

• Last FM is getting to the point where it's not worth the trouble anymore

  But if you have issues with last.fm itself there is always ListenBrainz as well. I recommend both to everyone. I scrobble to last.fm, then import to ListenBrainz, but you can send your listens straight to ListenBrainz as well. Source: over 3 years ago

• How does Last.fm determine an album? billy woods & Kenny Segal - Maps

  Listenbrainz.org solves this problem, but it’s not as feature complete as last.fm, yet. Source: over 3 years ago

  A friend who's hard into obscura sent me this: https://listenbrainz.org Could be hot, could be not. Source: over 3 years ago

• Ah, two of my favourite artists: Jim O'Rourke and Jim O’Rourke

  p.s. listenbrainz.org doesn’t have this duplication problem 👍. Source: over 3 years ago

• Information for research

  I don't know if last.fm is open with any of their data beyond what you can see while using it, but a similar smaller site https://listenbrainz.org/ is. Open Source & Open Data. Not sure if that's helpful or not though. Source: over 3 years ago

• It would be so awesome if they would let us import our data in its original date

  While not a solution for last.fm, you can do this with ListenBrainz. I scrobble to Last.fm then import into ListenBrainz. I highly recommend using both! Source: over 3 years ago

• Any History or Stats Anywhere?

  I scrobble my plays to ListenBrainz. You can use the webhook feature to scrobble. Source: over 3 years ago

• Honest answer, is Spotify replaceable with Plex?

  For discovery I'd suggest using https://www.last.fm/ and/or https://listenbrainz.org/ (I use both). Source: over 3 years ago

• Any way to count collaborative tracks to each artist?

  You can use https://listenbrainz.org/ it will count all artists for a track. And you can use it along side last.fm. I scrobble to last.fm then import my history into ListenBrainz. And no mixed artist issues either as it's all matched to https://musicbrainz.org/ entries and uses IDs rather than names. Source: over 3 years ago
