This Source monitors a Listenbrainz account's scrobble history and then re-scrobbles discovered tracks to configured clients.

:::tip[Other Uses]

* To **scrobble to** a Listenbrainz server, create a [Listenbrainz (Client)](/configuration/clients/listenbrainz)
* To accept scrobbles from outside applications as if multi-scrobbler was a Listenbrainz server, create a [Listenbrainz (Endpoint)](/configuration/sources/listenbrainz-endpoint)

:::

You will need to run your own Listenbrainz server or have an account [on the official instance](https://listenbrainz.org/login/).

On your [profile page](https://listenbrainz.org/profile/) find your **User Token** to use in the configuration.

## Configuration

<Config config="ListenBrainzSourceConfig" fileContent={ListenbrainzConfig} name="listenbrainz">
        :::note
            You cannot use ENV variables shown in the [Listenbrainz Client config](/configuration/clients/listenbrainz) -- multi-scrobbler assumes Listenbrainz ENVs are always used for the **client** configuration. You must use the [File or AIO](/configuration?configType=file#configuration-types) config to setup Listenbrainz as a Source.
