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
2022-11-21 32540, 2022
lucifer
aerozol: yup, can snooze or never again an artist release release group or recording

regarding LB, what needs to happen for a recording link to MBz to be made?
2022-11-21 32542, 2022
soundandvision
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:
hi soundandvision, how did you load this data to listenbrainz?
2022-11-21 32513, 2022
soundandvision
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
2022-11-21 32525, 2022
soundandvision
so probably the last.fm import tool
2022-11-21 32539, 2022

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?)
2022-11-21 32510, 2022
alastairp
and perhaps either this item has since been deleted from MB, or it was bad data
2022-11-21 32524, 2022
alastairp
I'm looking at the data from our api for your user (if you know how to read API):
2022-11-21 32543, 2022
soundandvision
i won't say im fluent, but always happy to give it ago :D
2022-11-21 32504, 2022

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
2022-11-21 32512, 2022
soundandvision
ok, neat :D
2022-11-21 32523, 2022

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
2022-11-21 32529, 2022
soundandvision
is it worth raising a JIRA ticket for this?
2022-11-21 32505, 2022
alastairp
aerozol: the issue is in fact that the value for "recording_mbid" in that listen is a track gid, not a recording
2022-11-21 32522, 2022
alastairp
because lastfm's API has always returned dodgy data, and we shouldn't be trusting it
hey, self-confidence shouldn't be looked down upon hehe
2022-11-21 32505, 2022
alastairp
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)
2022-11-21 32521, 2022
alastairp
so I suspect that soundandvision did an import before we identified this bug and fixed it
2022-11-21 32538, 2022
soundandvision
poop, if i re-ran the import what would happen - data double up or replaced?
2022-11-21 32500, 2022
alastairp
soundandvision: have you added items to LB using other methods? You could delete + reimport
2022-11-21 32526, 2022
alastairp
I think if you reimported directly over it, nothing would happen because the data already exists (I _think_)
2022-11-21 32538, 2022
aerozol
definitely not looking down on it! Just enjoying it :P
2022-11-21 32547, 2022
soundandvision
just "natively" via Spotify (so Spotify > LB not via Last.fm)
2022-11-21 32507, 2022
alastairp
soundandvision: ok, so deleting everything might be a bad idea then :)
2022-11-21 32518, 2022
alastairp
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!
2022-11-21 32511, 2022
aerozol
Ooh interesting. On topic, I think a lot of people go pro on last.fm for the editing listens function
2022-11-21 32521, 2022
soundandvision
I could have sworn that feature was free once upon a time, or at least when I was using last.fm on the daily
2022-11-21 32539, 2022
alastairp
aerozol: interesting
2022-11-21 32551, 2022
soundandvision
(the search function, not the editing bit that aerozol mentioned)
2022-11-21 32529, 2022
soundandvision
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
2022-11-21 32524, 2022
aerozol
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"
2022-11-21 32512, 2022
aerozol
Oh right, in their terminology ‘Library’ is the history. Library of scrobbles I guess. Works for me tbh

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