I’m searching for an alternative to last.fm that can connect to services like Spotify to track my listening habits

It’s not “self-hosted” but I use https://listenbrainz.org/
I use listenbrainz to scrobble (track played music). I like it because it is open source, and they publish using open data. This means that everyone has an equal right to the data, and can use and extend it however they want, which is a feature I wish more services.
There is also Ryot I am keeping my eyes on, as it promises to be an encompassing tracker, including tracking music, but its currently in development.
Woah Ryot looks really sweet, had not seen that one before, thanks!
What’s wrong with last.fm? I’ve used them since 2007 and imo they’re way better than something like Spotify. Lastfm is free.
You have to pay for certain statistics (e.g. the monthly listening report) and I don’t like giving all my listening data away and then still having to pay to see stats about them
Idk, I haven’t paid a dime in over 12 years and never saw an ad (with blocking). Never received spam or had features removed or shitified. Lastfm is one of the few places to have done it right imo. Don’t get me wrong, self hosting is great, but self host the music before you care about the stats
Indeed. But there’s nothing on the github there, so I didn’t link it.
I’m pretty happy with maloja in conjunction with multi-scrobbler.
It works so well! I have my LMS server scrobble to maloja directly, multi-scrobbler for Spotify and even imported a Spotify data dump so I have my whole history in there.
How did you set multi-scrobbler up? Did you use rootless podman containers? Because I can’t get it to work
Okay, I managed to get it to work by writing my own Containerfile
do birds fly? do ducks duck?
maloja is good for a lot but if you need a ‘lastfm’ for mpd https://github.com/dbeley/mpdscrobble
