What's an artist with consistently amazing cover art?

Share/link their #ListenBrainz artist page, which features a collage of their 10 most popular albums.

How do you rate these?

You now have a cover art collage on your stats page! We rewrote the internals of the LB music player (aka BrainzPlayer) to improve performance and fix some bugs. Let us know if you have issues with music playback on the website.

#ListenBrainzServerUpdate, v-2025-06-19.0

Sad news that @mat.tl‘s libre.fm has closed signups (still live for existing users) - a big loss to our small open listening community.

Our libre.fm import is now a ‘sync’ feature, for users who want an auto-backup.

Plus fixes: github.com/metabrainz/l...
