Hi Everyone!
I am Suvid Singhal (suvid on matrix), an undergraduate Computer Science student at Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS), Pilani. I took part in the Google Summer of Code 2025 and have been contributing to Metabrainz Foundation since December 2024. My GSoC project was to develop a file-based listening history importer for ListenBrainz. The project was mentored by Lucifer and Monkey.
Project Overview
Listenbrainz is a platform to track your music habits, discover new music and share your music taste with the community. A feature I missed after creating my ListenBrainz account and connecting Spotify was the ability to see my complete Spotify listening history. My project addresses this gap by allowing users to export their extended streaming history from Spotify and import it into ListenBrainz. Additionally, users can import backups from their old ListenBrainz accounts. With the foundation ready, it will be simpler to add support for more file importers in future. This makes transitioning to Listenbrainz easier.
The importer can be accessed here.
