Is ListenBrainz for storing music listen history only or it can be used for storing podcast listens too?

I have this question, because I know that podcasts can be added to MB DB. It is quite hard to add them, but possible. So what about streaming them to LB? Is it undesirable or I can do that?

If the answer is yes, then what about other formats such as audiobooks? Only formats which are accepted and can be added on MB should be sended or for instance YT video listen can be sent as well?

Submit all the podcast and audiobook listens… If you want that listening data. I sure do, just like with music I like knowing what podcasts and audiobooks I’ve listened to and what I haven’t, etc

My dream would be to one day have separate stats and views for different types like this, which is technically very possible, since we can grab the types from MB.

YouTube video watches I would only submit if what I’m watching/listening on there would qualify as a MB release (e.g. music, music videos). I don’t think LB isn’t the right place for tracking purely video content - though maybe someone should clone LB and make a video tracker! :slight_smile:
