Another year, another @ListenBrainz Year in Music! 🥳

#ListenBrainz #YearInMusic #MusicBrainz #SpotifyWrapped #SpotifyUnwrapped #BoycottSpotify

This can be seen as a follow up to yesterday's post where I shared my Spotify Wrapped. As someone who is a fan of statistics, I soon missed Last.fm, which I quit some years a go, for a couple of reasons, with the most important one being they had two data breaches, which they tried to hide, and only admitted, once the passwords where available in databases on the darknet. Thanks, last.fm! Oh, and thanks again!



Someone who doesn't care the slightest bit about your data but wants to collect it all, is someone you shouldn't support. But whom am I telling this on the #fediverse?



The cool thing: Once I started missing it, a couple of year ago, I started looking for an alternative and found one in #listenbrainz - it's basically the same as last.fm, but it's community driven, open source, and your data belongs to you (you can donwload everything in JSON format, if you want to).



Plus, it is liked to #musicbrainz and uses the DB that many applications already use for tagging their music (open source and commercial alike!), and that is also community driven.



The great thing about listenbrainz, though: You can scrobbel from most open source applications you might use; so for me CDs and .opus files are automatically scrobbled. Plus, I have a clever player that also plays from a couple of online sources which also get scrobbled in turn: YouTube, BandCamp, SoundCloud. And there is support for Spotify as well. And last but not least: You can even manually scrobble, which I use for my Vinyl listens (whenever I don't forget 😄 ).



As you can see the image generation is not always the best, but it's actually a website, that you can share, like this: https://listenbrainz.org/user/pygospa/year-in-music/2025/



The cool thing are the interactive parts, like the world map, where you can click the countries, etc. And if you missed my last years, just scroll back to those years.

Another year, another @ListenBrainz Year in Music! 🥳

Oooh it’s time to share my year in music 2025, joyfully generated with @ListenBrainz!

I am not as satisfied with it as I was in previous years, but the wild range of genres and artists truly reflects the diversity of my listens. I love it.

I am most proud of C.U.R.A. by Dietro L’Angolo, a local rap collective from La Pigna, Sanremo, appearing there. They are my friends and I have been listening to them endlessly since they performed at @scambi in August 2025. I am also the one who added their album to @musicbrainz 😉
