Only took a year, but done!

Maxr1998 Yes please for new tickets for improvements on the feature !

The current add listen button has been tweaked in the redesign plans, no longer orange:

Long term I think this should be a drop-down, as we need to have a better workflow guiding new users towards connecting spotify/importing and so on (rough example/not final):

Need to proceed with caution re. adding an extra click, but I'm not sure the manual add listens is used extensively enough to make it a big problem (I use it occasionally).

Should suggestions for improvements be a new ticket then?

Fixed in release v-2023-03-01.0.

Some mockups for a potential 'add multiple at once' feature:

In Discord Maxr1998 and Flaky said it could be useful to be able to specify the player you used to play a track. And/or web source. Apparently those are fields that can be/often are submitted already.

I would consider that 'advanced' so I would make it hidden until you press a button or something, if it was added.

edit: Flaky's Picard plugin is clever, it only pops this up if you select a digital media release to submit:

edit 2: Flaky: FWIW, the web source is handled by the music_service field, and the player itself under media_player

See code changes in pull request #2331 submitted by jivteshsingh.

Those mockups look pretty good actually!
date format could be better though :​D

Sure CatQuest! Note that these aren't my mockups, they are @jivteshs20's.
There are also open comments from monkey on some of them, but monkey has said ok to moving into production and fixing up some things as they go.

@aerozol any chance of png's?

Mockups: https://www.figma.com/file/Y41u3SMbnKvCsGZW1FTjc9/Add-Listen?

being able to submit listen directly to listenbrainz like this? YES PLEASE
also yes to being able to submit a whole album. I'd like to be able to submit a list of albums? and also several times, like say Album 1, Album 2, Album 3, Album 3, Album 3, then Album 1, Album 1, Album 3, Album 3. etc.

Mockups are ready

For reference, submitter tools:

The widely-used Open Scrobbler

Flaky's in progress manual submitter plugin for Picard

Would the ability to submit track listens from entire releases be feasible? This is how Open Scrobbler does it on the last.fm side. When going to scrobble a release, they ask for the timestamp of when you started listening (if you've listened in the past) or whether you want to submit it now (as if you've just finished listening), as well as what tracks you've scrobbled with a check list of the release's tracks. As a result, they also allow excluding tracks from being scrobbled if they're unchecked. (i.e. if the track was skipped).
