Hi!
Best I can suggest for ListenBrainz is to subscribe to the atom feed (weekly playlists, top albums, album art grids, etc.) and use a service that transfers those to email.
Found a few after a quick search for "atom feed to email", but can't recommend one in particular.
Look for this icon:

Hey did you know that we have little widgets for this?

If you are technically inclined you can add this in an iframe to your website:
listenbrainz.org/user/YOUR_US...

And one for your most recent pin, for example:
listenbrainz.org/user/mr_monk...

We're going to make them easier to find soon™

#ListenBrainzServerUpdate, v-2026-01-21.1

Twice in one day, slow down tiger 👁️👄👁️
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

#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!"
