Are listens on ListenBrainz generally intended to be submitted from the start of the track, rather than the end?
According to the API documentation, "Listens should be submitted for tracks when the user has listened to half the track or 4 minutes of the track, whichever is lower. If the user hasn’t listened to 4 minutes or half the track, it doesn’t fully count as a listen and should not be submitted."
Though my issue wasn't the submission times, but the listen times not reflecting the start time of the track.
Yeah, that's what I was going for, wrong wording lol. I'll have a crack at it when I'm able to - currently not able to access a Windows machine right now.
The new "finishes at" feature for manual listen submits shows that the "listened_at" time of a scrobble is the time of the start of the track. Scrobbles submitted with ScrobblerBrainz instead have the "listened_at" time at the end of the listen. For instance, a 4 minute track that started at 12:00 PM appears as a listen from 12:04 PM.
