Discussion
20 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: Last.fm, ListenBrainz, MultiScrobbler, Maloja
Concerns raised: V2 API documentation and authentication needs substantial work, Skips scrobbles when metadata matching fails - unreliable by design, Unclear product description and value proposition, Public scrobbling times reveal user location/schedule privacy concerns, Recommendation engine not yet as sophisticated as Last.fm's
Feature requests: Scrobble time offset option for privacy, Save failed scrobble attempts instead of skipping silently, Full ListenBrainz API compatibility beyond basic auth/submit, Single Dockerfile for simplified installation
