@mayhemchaos.bsky.social delivered MB data graph porn for your weekend! These show char lengths of song and artist names in the db. Recording and artist names both float ~10 characters, but songs have more of a “tail”. Long song titles take the win! -a

Editing data is a soothing balm, especially if you are OCD-brand neurospicy. It can also be a way to avoid life’s issues, fall into deep editing holes, compulsively engage in unsatisfying editing patterns, etc... Is there something we can do, as a platform? What are your experiences? -a

A few days left until we calculate #yearinmusic. A final checklist: 1. Import from other sources (e.g. last.fm) 2. Link listens (Explore > Link Listens) 3. Add genres (for a tidy genre graph) 4. Pressure friends and family to sign up. If you want… this list isn’t your boss. You tell this list!!

Leafy friend says that If you are a #lastfm user, now is the time to try #listenbrainz, so you get a #yearinmusic. We have a new last.fm importer/connection for you, which keeps listens synced, easy: listenbrainz.org/settings/mus... Btw, that doesn’t mean quitting lfm! Leafy guy uses both. -a

Guess what!? It’s December. Which means it’s still too early for #yearinmusic! Can’t do an annual recap when you’re still in the annum, ya know? These little 2024 YIM buds want to say hi now, though.
