On: ListenBrainz moves to TimescaleDB

[iliekcomputers]

Hey! I've been working on ListenBrainz [0] for the past 3-ish years. Happy to answer questions if anyone has any.

Excited to find out about the project. I regularly use MusicBrainz but didn't know about the sister projects.

I'll definitely be creating a ListenBrainz account. As a long time last.fm user I occasionally worry about the future of the platform. (There have been long stretches of time where it seems to have been in maintenance mode). You seem to support bulk importing last.fm data right?

[iliekcomputers → paol]

Yep, we do support bulk import of last.fm data [0].

We also have a Spotify importer that automatically imports stuff from Spotify, if you use Spotify, I would definitely recommend setting that up.

We're a really small team (all volunteers), so we don't move with as much urgency as I'd like to, but we've been making slow but steady progress over the years.

If you find any rough edges, or have any feedback, I'd be happy to hear, my email is in the HN profile. :)

I read that whole page and I have no idea what the project does.

Yeah, we need to fix that landing page. It's basically an open repository of your music listening history.

It's last.fm.
