The General Chatter/Off Topic Thread

I might be regretting starting this… slightly amused at how so far it seems to be a handful of ‘famous’ artists, and then the members of a dozen large orchestras and choirs.

Think we need an FAQ yet for last.fm users not to mess with the database and configure their player, tagger, etc. to change what’s stored and sent from their files?

Better yet, recommend using something better than last.fm :grinning:

Would be great. I’m sending a message to explain to them.

Although it would also be great to have a LB to LastFM exporter that remap titles “incorrectly” for those that like having LastFM, but can’t make it work because MB Style said no

I use both last.fm and ListenBrainz myself. I used to import but now submit directly to both. In my bio on last.fm I recommend people try using ListenBrainz as well :smiley:

Picard has this feature as a plugin I believe. Featured artists in titles rather than artist field. A LB to Last.fm scrobbler would be pretty cool. GSoC project idea? :smiley:

Think we also need something that monitors anyone who mentions last.fm in a comment and a bot auto-applies 17 no votes… seems to be a never ending stream of this stuff… been going on for years. Last.FM isn’t really going to care.

I added a similar festival that “took place” during COVID. Took me a ludicrous amount of time, because of course I can’t just create new artists without researching them, maybe adding a release, ahhhhh…

Note: Although it “didn’t take place”, you could still buy tickets, and afaik they sold a lot :stuck_out_tongue:

Was thinking about making it an Alistral feature but yeah >.>
Could run on a cron easily.

Although I do need to create a LastFM account. As much as I love LB, I need to spread the word of our lord and saviour Caster- I mean, advertise unknown artists somewhere else too

Good grief!

I very much enjoyed this disambiguation: (Swiss rock band in which members are dressed up as sex organs)

It’s really k-mania everywhere.
I see more and more shops selling k-bab sandwiches, also!

Personally, I’m a big fan of k-value

Ach, I didn’t get k-value… :thinking:
But I love figures k-ting!!
