libre.fm is a free network service that will allow users to share their musical tastes with other people.

• It should be more than just a free replacement for Last.fm

• It should have its own identity and features

But it can also have functionality that YOU want, and you can even add functionality yourself :)

Got an idea? This is a wiki -- add your ideas.

Getting started¶

if you want to jump right into it, here is how:

• How to install GNU FM

• Getting started with Libre.fm development

• Libre.fm API

How to use Libre.fm ¶

• Scrobbling - How to get started with scrobbling to libre.fm

• Using LastToLibre - How to create a dump of your last.fm listening history and import it into libre.fm

• Client support - what works, what doesn't (yet)

• Listen support - Which browser you can use to listen to Libre.fm player

Your ideas ¶

• Proposed Ideas

• Federation
  • Can/Should we use the http://openmicroblogging.org/ standard for exchanging tracks, or do we need something more personalised than that?
  • A global identity system would be ideal for this, and reasonably easy to implement, login with a webid ( foaf and/or openid based ) -- tip: just have a field in the DB called "webid" now, you can populate later with claimed web/open ids.

• Data licensing

• Semantic web

• Recommendation Engine

• Artist Incentives

• Avatar Support

• Location services

• Coexistance

• Ideas that need to be wikified

• Offering OGG and FLAC downloads.

These are just some ideas for the categories you may want to add an idea to. Do whatever you like :)

I'm in! But where to report bugs? ¶

• Make sure that it is no client problem. You can check a client support list on this page

• The bugtracker would be a good place

Visual Appearance ¶

• Graphics Design
• Interface Design & Usability
