Allow me to spread the word about ListenBrainz. ListenBrainz is a FOSS project that aims to crowdsource listening data from digital music and release it under an open license. Basically it’s Last.fm but better. Whatever you use to listen to music, you can probably link it up with ListenBrainz. All ListenBrainz listening data is available for all to use, commercially or not. Why should we give our listening data only to proprietary companies like Spotify and depend on them, when we can share it. If you’ve kept track of your what music you’ve listened to up to this point, don’t worry, there are several ways to import them into ListenBrainz so you can keep an overview of all your music listening.

I am not working for ListenBrainz in any way, I just really like this project, and I had not seen much on Lemmy about them, so I’m happy to spread the word.

    I definitely want to try it out, but sadly, it doesn’t integrate with YouTube Music, which I use the most. On desktop I can use third-party clients that has this feature, but I rarely play music on desktop.

      Where do you listen to YouTube Music? You can use PanoScrobbler on Android Or Web Scribbler extension if you listen in your browser

        I use YouTube Music on iOS. I wish iPhone was as customizable as Android.

          Yea ironically it’s way easier to scrobble my Apple Music on Android than it is on iOS

          Aw. That’s unfortunate. I didn’t find anything helpful for iOS after a quick Google search 🥲
