Hi !
I just discovered ListenBrainz after years of using LastFM, and I love it ! I would like to sort the mess that my listen history is after the import from LastFM, but for now I have not been able to link old listens.
For instance, there is on of my top artists whom I have not been listening for more than a year. He is not linked at all, but when I go to the “Mass linking” tool and search for his name, no listens appear. The same for other artists : only pretty recent listens appear.
How can I link these old listens ? Is there a way I can get the list of all the listens to some specific artist so that I can edit the listens properly ?
Cheers !

In my experience, it takes 1-2 weeks for listens to be available in the mass linking tool, and another 1-2 weeks for changes to be reflected in stats.

Thank you for your answer ! But my question was more : can you edit listens that are several years old ? I can’t seem to find them.
Ah, I see. You should be able to update them if you scroll back far enough, but finding them is a challenge.
We only calculate the top 1000 unlinked listens for that page I’m afraid, and there is currently no way to get all unlinked listens from the website.
There also isn’t yet a way to see all your listens for an artist, at least natively on the website.
If you are technically enclined, you could use a tool like elbisaur: you download an export of your data, feed it to elbisaur and use it to filter by artist name.
That’ll give you a list of listens, and using their timestamps you can go find them in ListenBrainz and map them manually
