Might want to put a warning that this may be “habit forming.” Yuk yuk yuk.
Neat little app, although I don’t think it will help me stop picking my nose.

With the way the Trump admin is going I’m surprised they haven’t totallt dismantled the ADA already.


People without a mobile device are fucked out of being able to pass a captcha
As if this isn’t a way for them to associate multiple sessions on multiple specific devices with one another, this is just another avenue for data collection, period. Hidden under the guise of “more secure.”


Yep, it’s still called scrobbling. I have very old tracks in my history that don’t have any timestamps because of the imperfect database changeover when they went from Audioscrobbler to Last.fm. I found that out when exporting my scrobbles to use elsewhere and noticed that my earliest scrobbles weren’t actually pulling timestamps at all, and it was defaulting to them all played on the same day at the same time.


Hell yeah!


I was just looking for a most self-hosty and privacy respecting solution initially. I will keep running it alongside Last.fm in case there’s a reason I need to dump Last.fm or if I decide I don’t want my listening habits on a public site.
EDIT: To be more clear, I have no issues with Listenbrainz at all, I just wanted to self-host.


Nah, I find new music via Bandcamp and piracy sites (which I used to check out music and then buy the stuff I really enjoy and will listen to a lot from Bandcamp).


You can also self-host with Maloja and Multi-scrobbler. This is the most privacy-respecting-option.

I rolled them out with Docker and imported my Last.fm listening history using this tool:


I actually somehow have kept mine going strong for over 20 years now. I even have some early tracks from before they changed how the system worked that don’t have any timestamps from when they got moved from the old system to the new (which was about early/mid 2005).
From about 2014 to 2016 I was having trouble finding listening solutions that actually consistently scrobbled to Last.fm but then got it working again by 2017. I think 2017 is when I paid for a Plex Lifetime pass (back when it was like $90 and not… $750) and that was also the year the Plexamp came out and worked with Last.fm scrobbling. I’ve used Plexamp since.
Also, for my 20 year anniversary I successfully listened to more music in 2025 than I had listened to in one year on 20 years. Worth it, it was fun.



Holy shit.
I have been struggling with a not-quite-perfect scrobbling setup between Maloja and Multi-Scrobbler because I was trying to slowly move away from Last.fm because of lack of trust in ownership.
If they can pull this off and truly be independent again, I will actually stop moving away from them for a while.


Interesting, I wonder why the choice to remove blog spot dot com specifically, this is actually the first time I have ever seen a “removed” from this instance, which is why I assumed at first it must be remote (also I had just woken up). Now that I’m more awake I realize, you’re right, it must be my instance. Maybe I’ll ask my admin sometime if there’s a reason why they block that phrase.


Whatever the last part of the link is it is getting caught in the content filter and being replaced with “removed”.
Can anyone actually share the actual end of the link without triggering the content filter?


Matrix, Session, SimpleX chat, Tox chat, Jami… and so on.


Oh, you mean the guys who were obviously such criminals they were run out of Russia and Europe and had to settle on being headquarted in Dubai?
Oh the guys who instead of doing something thoughtful like Mullvad and having RAM only servers with no logs, they just hide all their datacenters behind shell companies to avoid complying with legal subpoenas? That’s not completely shady at all, nope.
I mean, it’s not like Matrix or SimpleX chat or others that actually are secure (-ish, even Matrix leaks metadata!) and thoughtfully designed and open source that you can self host or don’t need servers or are incorporated in Europe (like Telegram tried to incorporate initially before settling on Dubai).
Oh and don’t forget France had very good reasons to arrest Pavel Durov, co-creator of Telegram. He went on Tucker Carlson to defend himself, which says it all, really.
Take your upvote and get out.
