> ...scrobbling to MusicBrainz... Forgive the out of touch questions, but, doing what? And why?

  Privacy friendly version of Last.fm for those that want to see a history of the things they've played. I have a history that goes back almost 10 years at this point on a self hosted service.

    I see, thanks. What do you use the history for? Is it just curiosity about your own evolving interests, or do you have some other use for it?

      I used to use last.fm, I switched to MusicBrainz last year. It has much better API access and I have a history of songs I've listened to since I was 17 in 2007. It's a time capsule, a tracker, a playlist generator and a record all-in-one. Scrobbling is just a word meaning 'to track listens'.

      You can use it to generate recommendations in MusicBrainz for discovering new music. I use it just because I like exploring how my tastes change over time.
