listenbrainz-server VS Plex-Audiobook-Guide

There's also ListenBrainz, run by the MusicBrainz org, which offers similar functionality without API restrictions or other paid features that Last.FM tries to push.

https://listenbrainz.org/

If you wish to use your scrobble data at all programmatically this is a far better tool to use.

If you really <3 clean data you can give listenbrainz.org a go (you can scrobble to that and last.fm concurrently so no need to ‘jump ship’)

Thanks for sharing, yea listenbrainz.org has been doing some great work. Also has an API which can make things interesting.

One way I keep up is using https://listenbrainz.org/ to track my listening habits. Then when you're logged in https://listenbrainz.org/explore/fresh-releases/ will show new releases from artists you listen to, and with KPop you can assume there is video(s) to go with each new release so I just go to youtube then to find them.

Spotify at least was the problem when there was tons of people complaining daily. But if last.fm is the problem now and otherwise you could try https://listenbrainz.org/ as well. You can even import your last.fm history.

But if you have issues with last.fm itself there is always ListenBrainz as well. I recommend both to everyone. I scrobble to last.fm, then import to ListenBrainz, but you can send your listens straight to ListenBrainz as well.

listenbrainz.org solves this problem, but it’s not as feature complete as last.fm, yet.

A friend who's hard into obscura sent me this: https://listenbrainz.org Could be hot, could be not.

p.s. listenbrainz.org doesn’t have this duplication problem 👍

Here is a resource that you will find useful for audiobooks. I love your old-time radio idea, I look forward to hearing what people suggest for that because I am totally stealing your idea lol.

I'd probably just bite the bullet and update the tags on everything. I've always just adhered to /u/seanap and followed their guide: https://github.com/seanap/Plex-Audiobook-Guide

Prologue for iOS is a Plex audiobook player that is better than any audiobook player has a right to be.

Here's a good guide on how to set up Plex for proper metadata with audiobooks: https://github.com/seanap/Plex-Audiobook-Guide

Depending exactly what you're trying to do mp3tag is a great tool for just managing metadata directly. The Plex Audiobook Guide has some handy tools for mp3tag that allow you to download info directly from audible.

This is the way: https://github.com/seanap/Plex-Audiobook-Guide

There's a whole guide to getting it properly set up here.

Just to throw this out there though for anyone who might be interested in self-hosting their secret project audiobooks and others, to look at Audiobook Shelf. /r/audiobookshelf (what i'm doing) or set up plex to handle audiobooks (as best as it can) and use one of the players listed on that site, probably Chronicle on Android or Prologue for iOS.
