<![CDATA[Send MusicBrainz IDs in ListenBrainz submissions]]>I saw some discussion of this in GitHub issue #273, but I am not sure if there has been any update on it.

Some MusicBrainz aware taggers can add tags for various MusicBrainz ids into the files, and ListenBrainz supports inclusion of the MusicBrainz ids in the submission data.

If playing a file which has MusicBrainz tags already present, it would be nice if they were included when scrobbling to ListenBrainz. That way ListenBrainz can link directly to the known recording / artist for each listen instead of just having the names as text.

Fixed now (https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/commit/d9c4720a3ee776dde2701eac21fd0b51ae50a78a).

It is sent as an array, but It could be the entries with a slash needs to be spitted by the slash, and sent as two different entries. I can experiment with it.

This is the canonical artist id from musicbrainz picard, so it's not really an "incorrect" id:

526e9ffb-c534-4e52-83c3-14a607cb95ef-image.png

I'm not familiar with the listenbrainz api, but I would hope (perhaps naively) that it handles artist ids in the same form as given in picard.

I'm guessing the slash (multiple artists?) is where things are getting tripped up.

As in, they look like the scrobbles I would have expected to be submitted but weren't.

Scrobbles submit correctly again after deleting that file.

Does the musicbrainz entries in ~/.cache/strawberry/strawberry/listenbrainzscrobbler.cache look correct?
Close strawberry and delete that file and see if it starts scrobbling again.

I see no issues looking back at my own history (My listenbrainz profile: https://listenbrainz.org/user/jonaskvinge/), but I don't have musicbrainz tags.
If you are on Linux you should be able to see some debug output about scrobbles by starting Strawberry on the terminal.

After a few hours of continuous usage, strawberry seems to stop submitting "listen completed" events to musicbrainz. "now playing" still submits correctly, but musicbrainz never sees the current listen get completed. All listens before this point worked correctly, both with the now playing and completed events. I don't know at exactly what point this stopped working - the only thing I remember doing out of the ordinary recently is changing to a new playlist and changing the order of playing songs with the "queue to play next" feature.

I haven't observed this behavior before (previously using 1.0.15). This is a pretty weird bug so I'm not 100% convinced it's strawberry's fault, but it seems unlikely it's something wrong with listenbrainz. Let me know if there's any debug information I can provide that would help with this.

@tybug
That would be appreciated, I can probably do it in 1-3 months time. I can't promise sooner, because I have some serious back problems (modic), so sometimes I'm in too much pain to work.

You need to do a full re-scan for them to be included in the database.
I have tested most of them, the only one I haven't tested at all is ASF. Please report any bugs you find.
You can verify that it's reading the tags with:

select url, acoustid_id TEXT, acoustid_fingerprint TEXT, musicbrainz_album_artist_id TEXT, musicbrainz_artist_id TEXT, musicbrainz_original_artist_id TEXT, musicbrainz_album_id TEXT, musicbrainz_original_album_id TEXT, musicbrainz_recording_id TEXT, musicbrainz_track_id TEXT, musicbrainz_disc_id TEXT, musicbrainz_release_group_id TEXT, musicbrainz_work_id TEXT from songs;

For accessing the database, see https://wiki.strawberrymusicplayer.org/wiki/Accessing_the_database

The "Love" button for Listenbrainz will now work if you have MusicBrainz Track ID for the song.

Would pay you through paypal ahead of time. No rush on a timeframe except in the vague near future (~1 month) - I've used strawberry without it for years, I can wait a little longer 🙂

To be clear, I'm just looking for strawberry to send already existing musicbrainz id tags in listenbrainz scrobble submissions, not to calculate acoustic id fingerprints on the fly anything. I think this github comment has the full list of musicbrainz specific tags which would be of use in track matching.

I tag all of my music with MusicBrainz Picard, which adds these musicbrainz-specific tags.

A lot of my tracks go unmatched by listenbrainz since my artists are usually named the romanized of their canonical japanese names, which I suspect listenbrainz doesn't know what to do with (one could argue they should improve their automatic detection, but perhaps they're being conservative to avoid false matches).

Tracks being unmatched means listenbrainz can't do cool things with a lot of my listens in their upcoming year in music (aka spotify wrapped), which makes me sad.
