The API of ListenBrainz is really simple. I built a simple MPV script to send my listenned tracks to ListenBrainz in few hours. It does the job pretty well, and I submitted almost 50K records.

For the moment I didn’t do anything with it, but I know I could someday.

I’m in the same situation. I have a One Plus 8, and when I try to update using the updater app on Android, my phone reboot a dozen of time but finally boot without updating Lineage OS. I tried twice and finally gave up…

my two cents,

I personally buy some music from Bandcamp, and I’m pretty sure those songs don’t exist on the Apple Music catalog. So I don’t want to handle multiple apps to listen what I want.

Also, streaming platforms have the internet constraints. Sometimes, like when I’m driving, I don’t have a stable internet connection

Recompress to a lossless format (…) There is very little reason for you to do this

I though there are no reasons at all to do it. What could be a valid use case for this ?
