Indeed, LB does not know what's in your collection, and makes playlists based on what other users listen to.

However we've been working on a project to make playlists based on your own collection for that reason: ListenBrainz local

If you want to try it out:
github.com/metabrainz/l...

Hello!
A small correction: you don't need to subscribe to troi-bot to get weekly recommendations playlists, those are generated automatically.

Following troi-bot will get you *daily* recommendation playlists which we think is a bit too much for the average user.

Thanks for the article!

Very cool!! There's another radio-based project that you may be interest in: scrobblerad.io
-a

Followed by a hotfix that "ensures the playing-now listen is ingested with the recording_msid properly set" -a

github.com/metabrainz/l...

And just as a follow-up, at least now they will be documented *somewhere*:
listenbrainz.readthedocs.io/en/latest/us...

Soon™ we will add buttons on the website to generate and customize the HTML code for the widgets.

Hell yeah!

It's a bit hidden at the moment and not documented, that's on us :)
Let me know if you need more details.

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™

yea
