ListenBrainz server is the open-source backend and front-end for tracking users' music listening history, providing insights, visualizations, and an open API over the collected data. It is operated by the MetaBrainz Foundation and publishes listening data as open data.
Use cases
- track my music listening habits and get insights
- self-host an open-source scrobbling service
- submit listens to an API from my music player
- analyze large-scale listening data with spark
- visualize my listening history and share my taste
- get music recommendations based on my listens
- query open music listening data via an API
When to choose
- you want an open, self-hostable alternative to Last.fm scrobbling
- you need an open API and open dataset for music listening analytics
- you want listening-history recommendations and visualizations
When to avoid
- you need a small embeddable library rather than a full server deployment
- you only need audio playback or library management rather than listening tracking
- you cannot operate Python/Spark-based big-data infrastructure
