I assumed this was 'just' a hotfix for today's previous release but it looks like it includes new stuff - the 'play all' button will now add everything on the page to the queue. -a

20 years ago... we announced the first commercial project built with MusicBrainz data!

Sadly Música Linkara has been taken by time, but since 2006 we have had countless commercial supporters - allowing our servers to keep serving open data to the world.

Small improvements, fixes and URL handling improvements! And we found the tables of contents for our docs which played hide and seek over the holidays. We also blocked submitting tags that include commas via the API.

#yearinmusic 2025 is OUT NOW!

"A bit like Spotify’s Wrapped (but way super better, in my extremely biased opinion) your ListenBrainz Year in Music report summarizes your listening habits from throughout the year 2025… and now, back through time!"

blog.metabrainz.org/2026/01/02/y...
A pretty funky looking piece of text reading "year in music" in front of a pleasant teal-purple gradient. Around the edges it reads "out now - #yearinmusic - 2025+ - ListenBrainz"

Coming January.

Oooh I tried but I can't stay cool and low-key about it... the '+' does a lot of heavy lifting there and it's gonna be frikkin RAD! Can't wait for you all to see it! -a
A very tasteful (but I would say that, wouldn't I) gradient background with a lot of squares in the middle zooming towards a stylized heart in a circle. In the corners with lots of space between is text reading "COMING JANUARY / ALL / TIME / #YEARINMUSIC"
