feature: Include genre and album's date/year in listenbrainz scrobble payload about gonic HOT 3 OPEN

hm I think this would need to be configurable. for example I use lastfm for tag genre metadata which quite often can be completely wrong (eg two artists with the same name)

I think it would be irresponsible for me for example to just start submitting those tags (some of which genres) to MB

where do you get your genre metadata as a matter of interest ? 👀

That's fair! I'm not sure how seriously the field should be taken, considering the ListenBrainz documentation provides all metadata and MB UUIDs fields accurately for Never Gonna Give You Up, yet suggests [ "you", "just", "got", "rick rolled!" ] for the tags field 🤔 It also suggests the field is "A list of user-defined folksonomy tags to be associated with this recording"

Mostly manual - either from knowledge about the artist, and I'll use pretty consistent naming across my library, or from Wikipedia or MusicBrainz itself.

yeah you can have nonsense tags like that fine, but if any of them happen to be also part of the list of predefined genres, then it comes a genre

but yeah sure if people like yourself are manually adding genre info to your metatdat then this definitely makes sense. just the automatic sending of unverified potential genre tags to mb could hurt the data I reckon
