<![CDATA[Love button for ListenBrainz]]>Hey there!

Scrobbling to my ListenBrainz account works correctly, “Loving” does not, though. 😓

Been here 👉 Send MusicBrainz IDs in ListenBrainz submissions

And I read that the "Love" button works for ListenBrainz as long as we “have MusicBrainz Track ID” for the song.

🤔 What does that mean? I wonder, why the scrobbling side works correctly but the loving side does not?

I forgot. There’s an Android scrobbler called Pano Scrobbler that manages to send feedback without any MBIDs on the metadata (it works using my own tracks). I wonder how they do that. 🤔

It looks like the client searches for the MBIDs when not present. See lines 158-159 here:

https://github.com/kawaiiDango/pano-scrobbler/blob/main/app/src/main/java/com/arn/scrobble/api/listenbrainz/ListenBrainz.kt

I’m not sure, though. But maybe that method could be used by Strawberry? 👀

I see... I don’t get why they require recording MBIDs for sending feedback, whereas a mere artist_name + track_name will do for listens:

There’s >100k tracks chilling in my collection, so getting MBIDs for them would be quite expensive (I’m still cleaning and making them more cohesive metadata-wise, a neverending task...).

The Listenbrainz API requires MBID's (https://listenbrainz.readthedocs.io/en/latest/users/feedback-json.html#feedback-json-doc)
You can use MusicBrainz Picard to add recording MBID tags to your songs.
