What it does
ListenBrainz imports listening history and develops open music recommendations using that activity.
Import the listening history you want represented, or connect a compatible client to submit listens. ListenBrainz stores a public listening record and uses it for statistics and recommendations; it does not supply a universal music catalogue.
Its API can read or submit data and support exports. Account-specific operations use a private user token from settings, with documented request limits. Check the import source, client compatibility and public-data settings before connecting a history.
