Rob has been finessing all kinds of bits and pieces for a long time now, and you should be able to get some pretty complex stuff working in there. Feedback and code contributions very welcome.
Wow whee - just got an email from #PayPal to say that my #LastFM yearly subscription price changed from $30 to $50.
Crazy stuff. I get that inflation is a thing; but the site is entirely user contributed data - from the scrobbling of the tracks to editing data and uploading images and links in the database.
And they sell that data to other companies. And haven’t updated their website or apps in so, so, long. The whole thing is pretty much in maintenance mode.
@jonpsp@matt I have fond memories of #Lastfm, and still scrobble. However these days, I find #ListenBrainz a worthy successor, and @metabrainz is regularly adding new features
Very impressive to read everything that #ListenBrainz achieved last year. Didn't know about the Art Creator, particularly love the LPs on the floor template, for example here are my most listened to albums for 2023 https://mastodon.social/@metabrainz/111999735197519468
@metabrainz I noticed that the English #Wikipedia article for #ListenBrainz has been flagged for deletion. 😭 Are there any notable sources I could add as references?
Ah, the lead up to Google Summer of Code (GSoC). Weeks of excitement, and the promise of a bright future. And lots of time to absolutely torpedo your chances of working with MetaBrainz or your open-source organisation of choice. Here’s how.
#strawberry music player has the best support for musicbrainz and listenbrainz that i've found. some stuff still wouldn't read… it turns out they were ALAC files that are only somewhat compatible with ID3v2.4. songs with multiple artists would vanish. transcoded to flac, sorted. #ListenBrainz#MusicBrainz@metabrainz
