There is also Fediverse software that has integrated ListenBrainz: Sharkey (Misskey-Fork) has the feature "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" https://activitypub.software/TransFem-org/Sharkey/-/blob/develop/README.md?ref_type=heads

Have we gone full-circle back to MySpace?

Nice alternative to Last.fm

Yep. There's some players out there that have support baked in.

As @const_void@lemmy.ml points out, there's a bunch of players that can scrobble directly to listenbrainz.

But even if you use some player that does not have support for it, you can make any player that can scrobble to last.fm work with listenbrainz instead since they provide a compatible API. This includes even software which officially only supports last.fm by simply changing the scrobble destination it wants to scrobble to in your hosts file.

It really is pretty nice software.

If your looking for just a scrobbler check out https://github.com/krateng/maloja

I love it. Been using it since 2 years or so. It's really good to have your own music statistics and not only spotify & co. It's open

Love it in concept but never worked for me. First account hat a weird glitch where I could never successfully log in after creation, on the second I couldn't get my music apps to scrobble to the account. But maybe I'll give it another go, I'm such a sucker for stats 😸

I sync all of my last.fm history to ListenBrainz on a regular basis. I am 625k of those listens ranging back all the way to 2007

I looked at the About, but I'm not sure how this works. It tracks what I listen too on diffetents platforms? I use Bandcamp, Tidal, my personnal library and sometimes youtube. This app would track my listening history?

Thank you for sharing this! I didn't know that one!! 👍 :)

Yes, as long as they can scrobble or you install the listenbrainz app on your phone
