Hello everyone
Yes I know, a few months ago a post with the exact same title was shared in this community by @[email protected]. But this was at a time when lemmy was still quite small. I would like to give the topic new momentum.
From their wiki:
ListenBrainz is a project by the MetaBrainz foundation which allows you to publicly store a record of all of the songs that you listen to. Using this data, we provide statistics, recommendations, and a platform for you and other developers to explore this data.

Definitely going to check this out when I get home.
Aside from last.fm, can it connect+import history from other services, like Spotify?
Yes spotify is supported as well. Unfortunately Tidal isn’t. But if you are on linux and you are using Tidal you could download the tidal-hifi client which bas a listenbrainz integration or you could download the listenbrainz app which can sync data from multiple clients including all music streaming services, newpipe, odysee, …
