Sharing some of my favourite ListenBrainz / MusicBrainz findings over the last few months. ✨

*ICYMI:*

* #ListenBrainz is a free and open source service that can keep track of your music listens across different apps, platforms, and players, similar to last.fm.*

* #MusicBrainz is the user-generated encyclopedia that ListenBrainz feeds from to display info about tracks, albums, artists, etc.*

Indiekit plugins include

- GitHub repo integration, PR, commits activity
- #Funkwhale listening activity
- #Lastfm scrobbling activity
- #Youtube Live widget with latest videos
- live #Webmention proxy for indiekit frontend (still to be improved)

I want to create a few more plugin, like one for #gitlab #forjego

Dear #music #LazyWeb,

many years ago (before its acquisition), I was a big fan of #LastFM. To this day it was the best music recommendation system I ever used. Deezer's (and I hear Spotify's), doesn't come anywhere close.

I would like to find something to fill that void - to help me find artists that I would otherwise not, based on what I listen to.

What is a good option these days?

#HackerNews #LastFM #Audioscrobbler #SocialWeb #2002 #MusicHistory #CyberCulture

Just released! 🚀

🎶 pylast 6.0.0

🎤 A Python interface to Last.fm and Libre.fm

📯 Restore proxy support (potential breaking change: proxies are now always stored as a dict, before it was a str or dict)

🪇 Drop support for almost-EOL Python 3.9

https://github.com/pylast/pylast/releases/tag/6.0.0

#Python #pylast #LastFM #LibreFM #release #Python39

Just released! 🚀

🎶 pylast 7.0.0

🎤 A #Python interface to @lastfm and Libre.fm

🗑️ Remove `SCROBBLE_SOURCE_*` and `SCROBBLE_MODE_*` constants. Last used in 2017, you probably weren't using them

📻 Add `chosen_by_user` parameter to `scrobble`. Set to false if you don't have "direct" control over the source, like radio or a stream.

🐍 Add support for Python 3.15

📼 Test against recorded API instead of live

🦀 Replace pre-commit with prek

Thanks to @scy!

Following in Amazon's footsteps, two student projects independently use 'collaborative filtering' to bring recommendations and social networking to online music; soon they will join forces.

If Last.fm really cared about their users they would send people an award for hitting 100,000 scrobbles. 🏆

#LastFM #Scrobbling

The more I'm back to actively using Last.fm, clicking through 20 years of my listening history and stumbling over _lots_ of inactive profiles, the more I wish other people would be using it again, too.

Sharing their thoughts about songs. Congratulating friends on their great taste in music. Recommending artists. Nerding out about basslines.

I'm https://www.last.fm/user/Scy83 btw.

just discovered @ListenBrainz - open and community driven music platform keeping track of your #music habits. what's really cool both, @jellyfin (via custom plugin, including favourites sync) and #navidrodrome (natively, no favourites so far), support #scrobble to #listenBrainz . time to say goodbye to #lastfm 😊 getting rid of propietary music streaming services got one step easier!

actually, @jellyfin handles streaming both, #movies and #music perfectly well! imho it fetches multimedia info better than Navidrome and you can #Identify them manually for missed media. It also can integrate with external provides such as #lastfm

#Python #pylast #LastFM #LibreFM #release #Python39

I still have 2688 songs to play so that I can match my last year's playcount. That's more than 23 per day on average. Better get to it.

#LastFM

Is there a need for #activitypub / #fediverse alternative to #lastfm for #music #scrobbling ? Would you use it?
