Hello everyone
Yes I know, a few months ago a post with the exact same title was shared in this community by @test626@lemmy.ml. But this was at a time when lemmy was still quite small. I would like to give the topic new momentum.
From their wiki:
ListenBrainz is a project by the MetaBrainz foundation which allows you to publicly store a record of all of the songs that you listen to. Using this data, we provide statistics, recommendations, and a platform for you and other developers to explore this data.
Many of you probably use a music streaming service. You share your user data with the company anyway, and some of it with others. If you feel like it, you can make your data available to the general public and help other open source apps to build their services on this data.

I like this idea.
I know I’m being lazy, but is the data sold? Are we just giving away our data for somebody else to monetize?
Strawberry has built-in support for ListenBrainz.
Neat.
So this is like Last.fm, but run by the MusicBrainz folks?
Exactly!
