#ListenBrainzServerUpdate, v-2026-09-21.0

A 🎭 dramatically 🎭 improved Fresh Releases scrollbar/timeline. And BrainzPlayer's (LB's built-in player) progress bar now allows scrubbing/dragging to a time!

+ more, like switching to a new primary database partitioning system.

I'm experimenting with "scrobbling" with #ListenBrainz, since it has a plugin built into Rhythmbox.

If for whatever reason anybody is curious what #music I'm listening to, my profile is at:

listenbrainz.org/user/gerowen/

Just be aware that it's going to be "very" limited until I use it more.

Btw. wen mein Musikgeschmack interessiert. Ich #scrobble 24/7 meine #Musik die ich habe/höre Zuhause und unterwegs. Und ich ist mein Gehirn so getriggert, dass loops quasi standard sind... aber man findet sicherlich Perlen bei mir. Und nicht das ganze Standard-Zeug. 🫣

As with many of our peers, we are starting to feel and show the strain from AI scrapers up the wazoo (and also increased legit/good traffic 🥳❤️) and double to quadrupled server costs.

If you have a rich aunt or uncle please consider asking for a MeB server or two this xmas: metabrainz.org/donate -a

Let's get some #listenbrainztuesday on Wednesday. I was surprised to find a late-70s Van that doesn't suck, DBT The Dirty South continues to move me in ways I could never have foreseen, and Derrick Hodge moves and grooves like some kind of cyberpunkusic from the future.

#ListenBrainzServerUpdate, v-2026-09-09.0

We continue fixing issues and bugs, in particular regarding file exports and imports (i.e. music history files from third-party services) - we now use a central service that all other services can upload/download from.

#ListenBrainzServerUpdate, v-2026-09-02.0

A score of performance improvements to LB Radio, the history files importer and to reduce internal database and API usage, leaving more resources to handle increased traffic.

+ an important change to User Agent requirements. -a

Dank ListenBrainz kann ich meine Hörgewohnheiten auch mit Open Source Software und ohne Datenverkauf aufzeichnen. Jellyfin, Navidrome, Spotify, Apple Music oder gar ein iPod mit RockBox? Alles kein Problem! 1/2

Ik kom er net achter dat de open source muziekspeler ampcast ondersteuning heeft voor internetradio (jeuj Kink.nl!) én dat het de muziekjes automatisch scrobblet. Ook naar ListenBrainz dus die statistieken lopen lekker vol. https://listenbrainz.org/user/fr4nkm33/

One of my recent projects has been building a music listening dashboard application based on Last.fm scrobbles and/or ListenBrainz listening history.

While I built it for me, I think others might enjoy it as well, so I'm looking for some people to help test it out and provide some feedback.

it’s not hard to love #listenbrainz for what it offers compared to lastfm/spotify with it’s direct connection to musicbrainz but god damn they also offer an easy alt-text copy for their stats???

epic. ((also this month in my music))

My gripe of the day:

Radio Stations that publish their playlists? Add MBIDs to your track listings so I can manually push what I heard on your station between a certain time I was driving home with ease to ListenBrainz.

Yes, there's an opera of The Shining.

Someone claimed that Thin White Rope are the best desert rock band (crazy, Kyuss are right there)

I swear, this is a @listenbrainz.org error of some kind! I'm not listening to Graceland remotely this much.
