lucifer: I’m excited about the ‘don’t play me this’ function too! How are you going about it? Seems like there’s a few options

e.g. recording vs artist, snooze vs never again

aerozol: yup, can snooze or never again an artist release release group or recording

Tumeke! (too much) 😍

example being my earliest ever "listen", Welcome to My Life by Simple Plan (I know embarrassing), it can be played (so theres spotify mapping of some kind) but if you click Open in MusicBrainz it returns:

see, clicking that I'd expect it to open - https://beta.musicbrainz.org/recording/a49a6ede...

but i cant see anyway of merging it

hi soundandvision, how did you load this data to listenbrainz?

well it was a while ago... and i've had a few drinks and sleeps since, but going by the date (2008) i'd say its from last.fm, using scrobbles from my ipod

so probably the last.fm import tool

I see that the listen that was submitted included this recording id, so it looks like we're trusting that data (perhaps data provided by last.fm?)

and perhaps either this item has since been deleted from MB, or it was bad data

I'm looking at the data from our api for your user (if you know how to read API):

i won't say im fluent, but always happy to give it ago :D

I see both `track_metadata.additional_info.recording_mbid`, and also `mbid_mapping.recording_mbid`, see that the second one is in fact what you expected to open

this might be something to run past lucifer, it's possible that we should look at submitted recording mbids, and if they are not/no longer in the recording table then we ignore them

ok, neat :D

Editing listens is on the to-do list, isn’t it? Without looking at that code it seems like someone was naughty and deleted (instead of merging) a MBID

is it worth raising a JIRA ticket for this?

aerozol: the issue is in fact that the value for "recording_mbid" in that listen is a track gid, not a recording

because lastfm's API has always returned dodgy data, and we shouldn't be trusting it

oh, fun!

Man, these always crack me up https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/Ije9W...

hey, self-confidence shouldn't be looked down upon hehe

in fact, it looks like we since updated the lastfm importer to treat this value as a track mbid (which I'm still not sure is the 100% correct thing to do, but we'll see)

so I suspect that soundandvision did an import before we identified this bug and fixed it

poop, if i re-ran the import what would happen - data double up or replaced?

soundandvision: have you added items to LB using other methods? You could delete + reimport

I think if you reimported directly over it, nothing would happen because the data already exists (I _think_)

definitely not looking down on it! Just enjoying it :P

just "natively" via Spotify (so Spotify > LB not via Last.fm)

soundandvision: ok, so deleting everything might be a bad idea then :)

opening a ticket to track [hah!] these cases might be a good idea

ok I will do that in due time, sometime this evening

new last.fm feature. interesting that they give this to pro users!

Ooh interesting. On topic, I think a lot of people go pro on last.fm for the editing listens function

I could have sworn that feature was free once upon a time, or at least when I was using last.fm on the daily

aerozol: interesting

(the search function, not the editing bit that aerozol mentioned)

or maybe im getting my memories confused with the ability to just type in the artist and it would show you how many *scrobbles* you had submitted for them

Interesting use of the term ‘Library’ for sure. I’m guessing they mean history? Or no?

yeah, "search, but only for things that you've listened to, rather than the whole MB database"

Oh right, in their terminology ‘Library’ is the history. Library of scrobbles I guess. Works for me tbh

ah, sure

correct; attempting to re-import my last.fm profile tells me there's nothing new to import :P

has been created :)
