I think you can self host ListenBrainz, or use their public instance. I started scrobbling all my music consumption a few months ago. Being part of MusicBrainz, they also have metadata for most tracks or you can amend it yourself.

Well fuck, guess I'm moving all my domains again. And I just moved away from Gandi. Does anyone have recommendations for domain registrars that support .ch and .li domains and ideally also supported by lego (my current acme client of c
