About

ListenBrainz keeps track of music you listen to and provides you with insights into your listening habits. We're completely open-source and publish our data as open data.

You can use ListenBrainz to track your music listening habits and share your taste with others using our visualizations. We also have an API if you want to do more with our data.

ListenBrainz is operated by the MetaBrainz Foundation which has a long-standing history of curating, protecting and making music data available to the public.

For more information about this project and its goals, look at our website, specifically the about page.

Changes and other important announcements about the ListenBrainz services will be announced on our blog. If you start using our services in any production system, we urge you to follow the blog!

Commercial use

All of our data is available for commercial use. You can find out more about our commercial use support tiers on the MetaBrainz site.
