Allow me to spread the word about ListenBrainz. ListenBrainz is a FOSS project that aims to crowdsource listening data from digital music and release it under an open license. Basically it's Last.fm but better. Whatever you use to listen to music, you can probably link it up with ListenBrainz. All ListenBrainz listening data is available for all to use, commercially or not. Why should we give our listening data only to proprietary companies like Spotify and depend on them, when we can share it. If you've kept track of your what music you've listened to up to this point, don't worry, there are several ways to import them into ListenBrainz so you can keep an overview of all your music listening.
I am not working for ListenBrainz in any way, I just really like this project, and I had not seen much on Lemmy about them, so I'm happy to spread the word.
Has their app improved? I tried it a while ago now and it was pretty lacking.
I couldn't really tell you. The ListenBrainz android app was first released in February. I imagine it has improved over the year. I can't tell you because I don't use the app. I personally have my Tauon Music Box audioplayer on PC linked up with Listenbrainz, and I don't listen to music on android. But on the forums I don't hear a lot of complaints so I would assume it's reasonably good.
