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.

Would love for this to be implemented. 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.

@jonas I'd be happy to pay you $100 in exchange for an implementation of this - is that something you have any interest in?
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.

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. -
@jonas Awesome. That timeline is fine with me. I've sent $100 to the paypal linked on https://strawberrymusicplayer.org/#sponsorus.

I'm a little behind schedule on this, I got infected with COVID in late January, and was sick almost entire February, but I should be able to start on this in the next few days. -
@jonas I know this is probably off-topic, but I hope you are okay. Get all the rest you can, health should be your top priority.

@jonas No worries; thanks for checking in.

The latest version of Strawberry will read MusicBrainz tags from FLAC, Vorbis comments (Vorbis, Opus, etc), MP3 (ID3v2), MP4 and ASF (WMA).
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.
