Today Spotify has taken away some API endpoints, leaving many users in the lurch. ListenBrainz has been working hard to create similar API endpoints and datasets, all freely available.

I just added another suggestion to the README on the example project on how extra steps that can be taken to make the data lookup even more precise. Writing your own music tagger has never been easier!

Tomorrow we'll post a blog post outlining how easy this process has become.

If you've ever wanted to write your own music tagger, but the right data was missing to make it a fun/easier job, now is the time. I'd love to know what people think of the data set -- we at MetaBrainz have been making a lot

Our decision to cancel this project has zero to do with the RIAA. All the reasons are in the blog post -- it is that simple.

Yep, so true. Our assessment of the applicability of our project was: Those who don't need it, love it. Those who need it the most, won't look at it. <lolsob>

Good questions, but I have no answers now. The only vaguely scientific thing we accomplished was creating compound models that show the sexual arousal of a vulva. I was told that it "became puffy/engorged", but couldn't

We really wanted to release the textures that go with the models in order to make them more realistic. However, that would likely put us into the pornography realm and make the site even harder to share with others. And also, printing the

pope_meat is right -- even in the age of unsolicited dick pics, mostly women were interested in participating in this project. Men were very hesitant. Also, more models of women than men worked out, since photogrammetry is very sensitive to

We scanned the bodies and genitals of our friends to create a modern sex education site. We've released more than 120 models of humans and their bits, all ready to print, ready for remixing. No copyrights on anything. Come for the bits

Agreed -- every time I tried to query data from the command line I could not get anything to work. I would usually find a piece of working python code and adapt that to run the query instead. 100% opposite of what a CLI interface should be.

When I realised that I no longer needed to live in California in order to run my business (MusicBrainz), I decided to move to Barcelona. As a friend of mine said: Barcelona isn't a 10 out of 10 on anything. But it is an 8 or 9 out of 1
