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
for those who are on #ListenBrainz, or those who might have heard of it, check out this 'what we did with the last year' roundup. i've stumbled onto the artist/album pages by accident, i've embedded the album art graphic onto my own external site, and yet there's a ton here that i didn't even know about
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
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
#ListenBrainz users! We are tweaking Fresh Releases.
Was: New releases from artists you listened to in the last month
Now testing: New releases from all artists in your lifetime history, filtering out any with <10 listens
Mes stats #Listenbrainz représente bien mes journées de travail* 8h - 19h ~ avec les 2 blanc de 16h à 18h le lundi et le jeudi qui sont mes séances de natation.
This means that anyone who updated their listen links, genre tags, and so on, will now see these changes reflected in their YIM page. We have also generated new YIM’s for anyone who recently imported listens from 2023.
@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?
