Scripts

Submitting via Spotify

ListenBrainz can automatically record listens from Spotify.

Importing the same listens from two different sources such as Last.FM and Spotify may cause the creation of duplicates in your listen history. If you opt into our automatic Spotify import, you may notice duplications in the last 50 listens on Spotify.This is a temporary issue while we find better ways to deduplicate listens.

Connect your Spotify account to ListenBrainz.

Playlist submissions and tools

Playlists can also be submitted and stored on your ListenBrainz account.

Tools

  • listenbrainz-playlist-uploader, a CLI tool for submitting local M3U playlists to ListenBrainz, as well as submitting feedback on tracks
