I noticed a track in my follows feed has a recording id but it’s wrong. There’s nothing in metabrainz that matches it.
I don’t think I can link to my follows feed but I checked the user’s feed and it seems like it’s bad there too.
ListenBrainz
Any idea why that might happen? I initially discovered it while running a script that samples from my feed and makes me a playlist. It errored out because it happened to pick this play and got a 404 when it looked it up on MusicBrainz.
The listen got submitted with the wrong ID. The ID submitted (8c5a9df8-069c-4715-bafb-4c618c26ff5a) is not a recording ID but a track ID. See this link:

How did you submit the listen? If this was from a local file, how did it get tagged with the MusicBrainz IDs?

Ah ok, a submission error. I did not submit it. A user I follow submitted it - timetodance.
Thanks for the guidance! It seems this is a pretty rare case. I’ll do some exception logic in my script and call it a day
