I don’t see any of those licenses listed on https://opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical and it took me a bunch of digging in the license-review mailing list archives to find when it was submitted for consideration (mo

Note that our current search server software is in "minimal maintenance" mode. We're working on a replacement which will hopefully allow for a lot of improvements to search rankings etc., but a lot of other things have higher

Oh, and the mp_top_stuff.html page was created less than a week ago. You're absolutely right that we could, in theory, have that data, but we do not currently. Not in any usable form (for this purpose) anyway.

Are you aware of the AcousticBrainz[1] and (upcoming/in-development) ListenBrainz[2] projects? We at MetaBrainz (the organisation behind MusicBrainz and the other *Brainz projects) really hope that the combination of data MusicBrainz,

Libre.FM sets out to be a ~1:1 (open) "clone" of Last.FM (or least the AudioScrobbler part of Last.FM), while ListenBrainz aims to improve on Last.FM/AudioScrobbler. E.g., the AudioScrobbler protocol only allows for a given s

Unauthenticated search is still possible and allowed, just as long as you use a proper User Agent string. See https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Development/XML_Web_Service/Vers... "Do I need an API key?"

FWIW, you may be interested in ListenBrainz[1], an open alternative to Last.FM. We're just about to launch the beta which should be the milestone for when we'll promise to keep submitted listens around Forever™. :) [1]: https:&
