ListenBrainz similar-artists returned mainstream crossover artists (SOAD,
Led Zeppelin for Metallica) instead of genre-accurate results. Now uses
MusicBrainz tag search to find artists sharing the seed's primary genre tag
(e.g. "thrash metal" returns Megadeth, Slayer, Kreator, etc).
- Add search_artists_by_tag to MusicBrainz client
- Deterministic shuffle using seed MBID hash for variety across artists
- Secondary tag fallback when primary yields fewer than 5 results
- Rename label to "You May Also Like", limit results to 6
- Add Last.fm get_similar_artists method (unused, for future use)
- Add tags field to ArtistFullResponse model
- Tighten local history exclusion to play_count > 2
- Allow dead_code on TokenValidationResponse.code (deserialized but not read)
- Remove unused MusicProvider import in commands_v2.rs
- Restore #[allow(non_snake_case)] on v2_plex_cache_get_tracks
- Replace drop(tokens) with let _ = tokens (drop on reference is no-op)
New crate for Last.fm, ListenBrainz, and MusicBrainz integrations.
Designed to work WITHOUT Tauri for TUI/headless clients.
Modules:
- lastfm: Scrobbling and now-playing via Cloudflare Workers proxy
- listenbrainz: Direct API client with user token auth
- musicbrainz: Entity resolution with rate limiting
Features:
- `cache` (default): SQLite persistence for offline support
- ListenBrainz: Credential storage, offline listen queue
- MusicBrainz: Resolved entity cache with TTL
Architecture:
- Pure async Rust, no Tauri dependencies
- Shared error types via IntegrationError enum
- Rate limiting for MusicBrainz (1 req/sec direct, faster via proxy)
