My little worker to automatically update my @bsky.app profile with my last played song in Last.FM is now open source and online.

Just a reminder that if you have Sharkey, you can connect your ListenBrainz account to show others what you're currently listening to.

Idk about other Misskey forks, but I'd check it out still, I love this feature.

My scripts broke and I don't have time to fix them, so this quarter I used the @listenbrainz.org art generator to make my three-month grid. Top albums from July-September!

Image grid containing the top listens from this quarter (sorry, no info because I don't have stats)

#ListenBrainzServerUpdate, v-2025-10-11.0

An update to block calls from a specific 'vibe-coded' app that has contributed to server issues in the last day or two.
Blunt force until we finish better emergency caching mechanisms! Apologies if you have experienced delays -a

Run into bbno$ from my @ListenBrainz recommendation and they immediately hooked me even though they're not at all in my usual listening style. I just knew there was something #neurodivergent about them. And so today, they dropped this https://youtu.be/dYIqX7ZLMyE?si=8X2f3lDWJxV7epYN . Fukken lol […]

Friends don't let friends not track and backup their Spotify listening history with listenbrainz.org!

Owning your own data is not just for nerds. It's only a few clicks and means having control of your past history, future playlist generation, and the ability to change platforms if you need to. -a

hacked together my own ListenBrainz scrobbler for macOS since literally nobody else made one.

it works okay but i think i might make this a Swift app or something instead lol

A Bash script I made that scrobbles tracks to ListenBrainz.

Ugh yeah iPhones are tricky... there was a ListenBrainz iOS app in production we didn't manage to find a dev to give it proper attention, so I believe it's dropped off. I'm out of my depth in terms of Tidal + iOS scrobbles :( -a

ListenBrainz @listenbrainz.org · 14d

Hmm, looks like there are a couple of ways to send Tidal listens - listenbrainz.org/add-data/
Requires using a different client or a client mod so maybe not for everyone -a

Listeners should definitely have control of their own listening data. If you're looking for data portability, I highly recommend @ListenBrainz, which makes it to export your Spotify listening history. https://mastodon.social/@eff/115181522954088733 #listenbrainz

Electronic Frontier Foundation (@[email protected])

"Listeners should have control of their own data, which includes exporting it for their own use," EFF’s Jacob Hoffman-Andrews told @arstechnica. "An individual's musical history is of use not just to Spotify but also to the individual who created it." https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/09/spotify-peeved-after-10000-users-sold-data-to-build-ai-tools/

Just updated @f-droid.org.web.brid.gy and saw that #Spotube (cross platform music player) has support for @listenbrainz.org ... Connected that to my @musicbrainz.org account, and am in the process of importing the @last.fm history.

Happy to move away from Spotify as a metadata source.

Bulk importing my youtube music data into listenbrainz is wild because (after a bit of processing for a week or so) the stats are ready and you can tell exactly in what year a ~decade old relationship died and optimistic K.Flay pop was largely replaced by Architects screaming about despair

Listenbrainz artist evolution with top 10 artists, showing Enter Shikari, K.Flay (why yes, I like my angsty pop music, thank you very much) Poppy, grandson, Pendulum, Architects, Ghost Data, Wargasm, Don Broco and Blue Stahli

Fixes and refactors, with a couple of more interesting looking PR's nestled in there. libre.fm archive importer and a daily activity heatmap fix for those in tricky time zones (raises hand). Hit the link for the changelog -a
