Server for the ListenBrainz project
Website | Documentation | Bug tracker
The ListenBrainz project is similar to the original AudioScrobbler®. Unlike the original project, ListenBrainz is open source and publishes its data as open data.
A team of former Last.fm and current MusicBrainz hackers created the first version of ListenBrainz in a weekend. Since the original project was created, technology has advanced at an incredibly rapid pace, which made re-creating the original project fairly straightforward.
The project has two main goals:
- Allow users to preserve their existing Last.fm® data
- Make this incredibly useful music usage data available to the world
For more information about this project and its goals, look at our website, specifically the goals page.
These instructions help you get started with the development process. Installation in a production environment may be different.
