Implemented submission of tags to my MusicBrainz Sync plugin for MusicBee! Also got the function working in a way where I don't need to keep rewriting code. Getting so close to completion now.

Was racking my brain as to why MusicBrainz kept rejecting my requests on my C# MusicBee plugin specifically, even when everything worked via a manual cURL request.
Turns out, I overlooked the fact that MusicBrainz will reject it if you don't have a proper user agent. Whoops.
Finally got OAuth setup properly! I have to fix some UI-related problems but I'll do that tomorrow.
Big nerd news: Harmony, a streaming site release aggregator/importer for #MusicBrainz (https://harmony.pulsewidth.org.uk/) quietly dropped shortcuts to seed recording (individual songs) relationships with their specific streaming URL pages.
Recording relationships have gone off the charts - literally.
This huge increase in track-specific data may also open doors for @ListenBrainz matching, and for others who use our datasets. -a
It's a bit funny that the reason I'm working on a plugin for MusicBee and coding it in Windows/Visual Studio, is so my workflow of transferring music metadata to MusicBrainz can be done on Linux lol.
For you music library folks, how is something being "higher quality" determined exactly?
I sure hope it's not purely looking at file size or codec/bitrate.
One other huge factor I consider is how the song is mastered/mixed.
Can it compare the waveform and spectrogram of a track and see if it has been loudness-warred / peaked-out / dynamic range crushed?
Can it show that stuff to you or does it do that or does it not do ANY of that?
Something I'm planning on 
If you are posting new material on #Bandcamp for #BandcampFriday don't forget about #Harmony -- a tool you can use to import the release from BC into #MusicBrainz for documenting and distributing the metadata to a zillion other places.

@dpplggr Congrats! I'm at 1,780
#MusicBrainz applied edits myself. I almost always click to have my edit be voteable though. Are auto-edits preferred? Maybe I've been "doing it wrong" 
I reached 100,000 auto-edits on #MusicBrainz the other day. Took me almost 20 years but it feels like an achievement.
@Vac@crumb.lt@Rhababerbarbar @musicbrainz pretty sure #MusicBrainz uses #Weblate for localising at the current time. :p
@tommi@pan.rentHappy I Love Free Software Day [ilovefs.org]! 
Unfortunately, this year I could not join nor organize any in-person celebration, BUT of course I want to share my gratitude to the many, countless #FreeSoftware services I don’t merely use, but actually depend on.
Last year, I decided to focus only on #YunoHost, because it would have been crazy to list all the projects I use and I love.
This time, even if I will most certainly forget someone, I am challenging myself to mention all the #LibreSoftware my life is powered by.
Without further ado, THANK YOU to:
- @yunohost, for powering Nebuchadnezzar [tommi.space]
- @fedora, for running my beloved #Framework laptop
- @frameworkcomputer, for designing and building repairable, #Linux-friendly and truly open hardware
- @gnome and @GTK, for being just gorgeous
- @calyxos (thus @LineageOS), for powering my #Fairphone5
- #Obtainium, for making me directly download apps on my phone, and @fdroidorg for distributing them
- #AuroraStore, for proxying the download of apps I am doomed to get from Google Play
- @element, for developing #Synapse, even though the new proprietary Synapse Pro is VERY PROBLEMATIC AND DISAPPOINTING
- #Fractal, for being the most beautiful and awesome #Matrix client ever
- @signalapp, for keeping me connected with the people I love
- @Mastodon, for also maintaining a feature-packed experimental fork (#GlitchSoc), that is what Pan [pan.rent] runs
- #Tuba and #Moshidon, for being the most beautiful and awesome #Mastodon clients ever
- #Firefox, for still remaining the best possible #browser choice, despite #Mozilla’s governance messiness
- @openstreetmap, for allowing us to find the right path, both literally and metaphorically!
- @organicmaps, for being the simplest, cleanest, yet feature-rich #OSM client and navigation app
- @protonvpn, for making me browse safely from/to anywhere in the planet and @protonprivacy #ProtonMail, for hosting my email, despite the latest alarming political statements…
- @libreoffice, for allowing me to draft documents with ease, the last of which was my #CV
- #LanguageTool, for preventing me from making embarassing spelling mistakes
- @photoprism, for safely storing and indexing all my photographic memories, on Aby [tommi.space], and for providing stellar and friendly support too!
- #Actual, for moderating the very likely risk of ending up completely broke, since it forces me to manage my finances consciously and coherently
- @readeck, for storing and sorting ALL my varied and overwhelming inputs [inputs.tommi.space]
- @nextcloud, for storing and synchronizing my data, for its #calendar, its #tasks, and all its awesome apps
- #Rustdesk, for preventing my friends and family members from going crazy, by allowing me to remotely connect to their devices and directly address the issues they have
- #Listmonk, for sending out my newsletter [tommi.space]
- @eleventy, for powering all the websites I maintain, above all the virtual representation of my mind [tommi.space], and for being the only reason why I resist and try to continue learning #JavaScript
- @forgejo, for giving us a chance to truly control and collectively develop the sources of our software, but most importantly @Codeberg, for RESISTING, RESISTING, RESISTING, despite the hatred and attacks nazi assholes throw at them
- @musicbrainz for keeping music knowledge open and free, and @ListenBrainz for scrobbling the crazy music I listen to
- The @fsfe, for promoting this celebration and fighting the good fight!
Lastly, but most importantly, the biggest thank you goes to all the free software libraries and dependencies the above mentioned #software are made of/built with, including #C, #JavaScript, #Python, #Rust, and all community-maintained programming languages.
I am super sorry if I forgot someone!

In 2023, I wrote a plugin for MusicBrainz Picard that lets you submit your tags for a given track to the tags for its equivalent recording entity on MusicBrainz. The intention was to make it easier to submit tags so whatever systems MusicBrainz is using tags for (like ListenBrainz's recommendation engine) will have more data to work with.
And uh, fast forward now when my hard drive with all my music library died. In the process of recovering from a backup from around the same time and I'm also retrieving my tags too.
Ideally, I would've had a proper backup and all, but I'm so fucking glad I made the plugin now, lmao.
Does anyone know what's going on with #listenbrainz and #MusicBrainz ?
I can't open the website since a week or so and the service doesn't seen to work but I also did not find any info about a general problem.
Love this.
