It look good to me, though I made some further edits to simplify some of the language. I don't think all of it is, but some of the sentences started getting a bit long and "impressive" in a chatGPT-style (for instance, I removed a reference to all the "incredible music" in the database, since I take pride in MB containing a lot of really shit music as well!). But with those tweaks I think it's a great improvement.

listen he will just search the track name or artist name or something on the official manual addition search bar and will have successfully submit the listen and can hear it am I right ?? So for this I am asking how to proceed

yes but where is the search bar in the UI that you are referring to?
2025-08-01 21305, 2025

do you mean manual addition of listens?

lucifer[m]
that searches MB for tracks and not apple music/spotify etc.
2025-08-01 21356, 2025
rayyan_seliya123
What's the remaining part of my project then
2025-08-01 21314, 2025
rayyan_seliya123
lucifer[m]: Ooh !
2025-08-01 21342, 2025
lucifer[m]
when you play a song using BrainzPlayer, it searches for the track in various music sources. Spotify/Apple Music/Soundcloud etc.
2025-08-01 21309, 2025
lucifer[m]
You need to create an Internet Archive data source for BrainzPlayer and implement searching for tracks in that.
2025-08-01 21324, 2025
rayyan_seliya123
lucifer[m]: That part is done like I can now play recordings which matches the data logic of ia ! But I have done it manually using submit_listens.py !!
2025-08-01 21334, 2025
lucifer[m]
submit_listens is only for submitting the listens to ListenBrainz. it doesn't matter how the listen is submitted, if your brainzplayer logic is correct it should work for all listens that are available in IA metadata cache.
2025-08-01 21342, 2025
lucifer[m]
so sounds fine to me.
2025-08-01 21307, 2025
lucifer[m]
in that case, you can work on the backend side of things again.
2025-08-01 21317, 2025
lucifer[m]
add logic for searching more tracks for the given artists/creators using IA api and add those results to process queue.
2025-08-01 21338, 2025
lucifer[m]
the spotify/apple music cache already do this. so take a look at it on how to implement it.
2025-08-01 21329, 2025
rayyan_seliya123
So talking about the frontend thing it's this much only !! What I have done so far ??
2025-08-01 21354, 2025
lucifer[m]
i'll check the PR but seems to me like yes
2025-08-01 21319, 2025
rayyan_seliya123
lucifer[m]: Sure thx !
2025-08-01 21323, 2025
rayyan_seliya123
lucifer[m]: Like I should focus on getting more stream_urls for the respective artist/ creators ?
2025-08-01 21330, 2025
lucifer[m]
yes.
2025-08-01 21358, 2025
lucifer[m]
you need to find more metadata items from the artist and creator of existing items.
2025-08-01 21328, 2025
lucifer[m]
you should use a cache/dict to not query the same artists again and again.
2025-08-01 21337, 2025
rayyan_seliya123
lucifer[m]: Sure and what about the limit we have set for the seeding logic should I have to increase that also ?
2025-08-01 21343, 2025
lucifer[m]
the spotify cache does it automatically.
2025-08-01 21335, 2025
rayyan_seliya123
lucifer[m]: Like the notes or other fields we have done it earlier or only focus on extraction of stream_urls ?
2025-08-01 21352, 2025
rayyan_seliya123
lucifer[m]: Sure will follow this approach!
2025-08-01 21353, 2025
lucifer[m]
no.
2025-08-01 21350, 2025
lucifer[m]
use the IA search API with queries filtering on creator/author field to find new metadata items. add the items ids to the processing queue. then the crawler will process them normally.
2025-08-01 21347, 2025
lucifer[m]
for the seeding logic, we should change it to using the collections' rss feed.
2025-08-01 21326, 2025
lucifer[m]
or instead of a numerical limit we can use a datetime limit (last 7 days example).
2025-08-01 21354, 2025
lucifer[m]
read through the spotify metadata cache code, it handles all of these thing and will probably clear things up.
2025-08-01 21315, 2025
rayyan_seliya123
So for these backend refactor I jave to make new pr ??

ah, those are the kinds of submissions seeding is designed for. we wouldn't allow bot submissions for those, except perhaps in very narrow circumstances where the data is pre-vetted, since a human is required to check for duplicates and ensure the data follows our guidelines
