Provide a tool to submit acousticbrainz data from online streaming services (spotify, apple music, etc.)

XMLWordPrintable

      I started using Picard to submit acousticbrainz data with MP3s that I have but I think it would be nice to have a tool (Picard or something else) that could submit acousticbrainz data from online streaming services. That way I could submit stuff that I listen to (not only from the mp3 I have).

          [AB-475] Provide a tool to submit acousticbrainz data from online streaming services (spotify, apple music, etc.)

          Unfortunately this isn't as easy as we might think, because the AcousticBrainz processing software needs a copy of the entire audio file in order to process it. The terms of service of sites such as spotify prevent us from retrieving the audio file outside of the context of listening to a recording in their app.

          For now we're just going to have to hope that people are still buying CDs or mp3s from bandcamp etc and are able to submit them
