What do YOU want in ListenBrainz?

[UltimateRiff]

I second most of this, also answering a few points

@MusicListenzGood

Tracks, albums, and artists should have pages on Listenbrainz

I can tell there’s work being done on this, as there are very barebones release pages (like this) if you click the “Play on ListenBrainz” button right below the cover art on a MusicBrainz release. I don’t think there’s any way to access them directly from ListenBrainz at this time, but this is a feature I’m very much looking forward to~

On the topic of social stuff. Maybe more ways to share some of the pretty graphs you get on social media beyond a link. Something you can embed in posts.

they did something like this for this year’s Year in Music (see the beginning of this thread or my Year in Music), and based on some of the mockups @aerozol has been putting together, that’s in the minds of the design people. when and whether the developers get that in might be another story, but we can hope

And something I noticed browsing last.fm often was a lot of the trendy groups had much worse ratios for total listeners to total listens. Lots of people listen a few times and that’s it. Compared to smaller groups they often had much higher listens to listeners.

this is a great idea, actually. and (in my mind, note I’m not a developer) might be pretty easy to implement. the ratio of listeners to listens I think could be a great indicator of what people like, no matter how popular a track or artist is.

But also have a list of obsessions like this on peoples profiles so you can see what your own, and other peoples obsessions are. Not just what I say I love. Expose me for listening to Babyface by WJSN for 16 hours straight.

I am kinda obsessed (lol GET IT) with this whole idea, and it also reminded me of one of Spotify’s billboard campaigns back in 2016. such an excellent idea~

@MusicListenzGood

Groups some times show up on my toplist multiple times, even though they have the same artist ID linked. “9Muses” and “Nine Muses” for example are my #20 and #21(Using them as a good example as they just happen to be next to each other, happens a lot though).

I know this is something being worked on in general (https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/LB-1192), and two of the cases you’ve brought up here are probably already covered by LB-1191 and LB-631

@MusicListenzGood

The link UI needs a rework I think to make it more user friendly. Personally I am obsessed with my stats and go through the effort of looking up each recording on MB and copying the recording ID. But looking at my similar users, many either don’t know about it, or don’t want to spend the time as they have a lot of unlinked songs

this feature was pretty recently added, and I don’t think it has been publicized much outside of the forums, the MetaBrainz blog, and maybe IRC (not sure, as I’m not on the IRC).

Also, it would be nice if there was an easy way to report incorrect matches. While I can fix my own, it doesn’t seem to help with anyone elses.

I believe there’s a ticket for this too (LB-1036), and you can match other user’s listens as well (more details in the comments of LB-1198)
