Neat.
So this is like Last.fm, but run by the MusicBrainz folks?
Exactly!
There's also libre.fm as.anotother alternative.
Yes, it's pretty awesome. And they've slowly been adding more and more features
As someone who has used Last.fm for 19 years but lately looking for better music discovery options, I'll give this a go.
You can import all your data natively!
That's a big reason why I'm giving it a go! Currently importing page 1200 of 1800.
Definitely going to check this out when I get home.
Aside from last.fm, can it connect+import history from other services, like Spotify?
Yes spotify is supported as well. Unfortunately Tidal isn't. But if you are on linux and you are using Tidal you could download the tidal-hifi client which bas a listenbrainz integration or you could download the listenbrainz app which can sync data from multiple clients including all music streaming services, newpipe, odysee, ...
Yes I know, a few months ago a post with the exact same title was shared [...]
I think reposting after 7+ months is more than ok regardless :)
you can make your data available to the general public and help other open source apps to build their services on this data.
I like this idea.
I know I'm being lazy, but is the data sold? Are we just giving away our data for somebody else to monetize?
Glad you aksed: Firstly all the software used by the project is fully open source and all data is licensed under the CC0 license.
This looks interesting. It looks geared to importing data from a service (like Spotify), how would one import data from the radio or mp3 files? I don't really stream music but love the idea of new ways to find new music.

There is a lot of import options:

Enough said, thanks!
@PropaGandalf@lemmy.world @test626@lemmy.ml In Sharkey (the #Fediverse software I'm replying from here) there is a #ListenBrainz integration :blobcatheadphones:: "Federated Backgrounds and Music status - You can add a background to your profile as well as a music status via ListenBrainz, show everyone what music you are currently listening too.."
I haven't tried the feature myself yet. #Sharkey is a soft fork from Misskey.
Nice! Thanks!
For any client that does not support ListenBrainz but does support Last.FM you can use multi-scrobbler to chain off of it. https://github.com/FoxxMD/multi-scrobbler
