MatReally loving the new artist pages on #ListenBrainz, finding out which tracks are the most popular and also discovering fellow listeners. Very much reminds me of #LastFM and the community that built up around that. I know people still scrobble to the latter, though it feels it has stagnated, whilst ListenBrainz continues to evolve as @metabrainz actively adds new features.
Speaking of #LastFM, one feature that I very much miss is the #FestivalFinder app that gave you a compatibility score with a festival based on how much of the line-up you had listened to it. I've been thinking of creating something like it, but the tricky part would be finding line-up data with a suitable licence. One solution would be adding #musicfestival line-up data to #MusicBrainz, for example here is Le Guess Who 2023 https://musicbrainz.org/event/d651146e-921a-45a4-8704-9013b9a9c174
As part of an experiment, I am going to make a habit of entering #musicfestival line-ups into #MusicBrainz, starting with #WideAwake2024. If there is #opendata available, then it makes it much easier for me or someone else to build an app https://musicbrainz.org/event/652e4b04-3daa-4d5d-a5b7-93f2d884caee
Tom R.@okwithmydecay love it! Perhaps consider setlist.fm? Or do it on #wikidata, which has a #sparql endpoint, like so https://m.wikidata.org/wiki/Q164815
@ruettet thank you! Is setlist.fm only for festivals that have happened? I am looking for data on upcoming music festivals. Regarding #wikidata, one issue is that unless bands are notable enough to have an entry on #Wikipedia, they are unlikely to have a Wikidata item, and there are no notability requirements for #MusicBrainz.
@okwithmydecay yes, setlist.fm is retrospective. Correct points re wikidata on notability. Perhaps musicbrainz is the best choice indeed.
near@okwithmydecay @metabrainz nice! didn't see them yet
