About

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:

  1. Allow users to preserve their existing Last.fm® data
  2. 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.
