Have you ever wanted to receive new music releases from an artist by RSS? I have for a while and finally made this: https://git.benstokman.me/benjistokman/musicbrainz-rss

It's a simple daemon that serves RSS feeds over HTTP, gotten from the MusicBrainz API. Not that featureful but it works well.

Back when we did things like “buy a cd and use iTunes to turn the music into mp3s” I used MusicBrainz Picard a lot to get all the metadata I needed. And then I kind of forgot about MusicBrainz.
Turns out: it is still going strong. It does lack quite a lot of the music I listen to, though. Which might not be so surprising because while I (mostly) listen to pop, there is also a whole bunch of dangdut and Luk thung. So I guess I’ll be doing a whole lot of editing MusicBrainz.

And don’t ask me why. It is mostly so that my ListenBrainz profile doesn’t look bad.

Will also explain why I followed.

I didn't need to read anything on your profile other than your listenbrainz link.

I was immediately sold!

I used to use MusicBrainz. I often see MusicBrainz on Wikidata too.

ListenBrainz is a great idea!

Due to my use of VPNs I realize that contributors who use privacy protecting tools find an uphill battle for contributing to Wikipedia but usually less for databases like Wikidata.
