### Why not Last.fm / Libre.fm?
Maloja is self-hosted. You will always be able to access your data, and not have to trust anyone to provide an API for it.
Maloja is self-hosted. You will always be able to access your data, and not have to trust anyone to provide an API for it. Your library is not synced with any public of official music database, so you can follow your own tagging schema or even group acts together for the purpose of artist charts (e.g. HyunA, 4Minute and Trouble Maker).
### Why not GNU FM?
Maloja gets rid of all the deadweight like a social network or event management. It only keeps track of your listening history and creates statistics from it. That's it. But this focus on its core does allow it to potentially implement much better database features. One example: Maloja supports multiple artists per track. So those poor artists who are always just mentioned as "featuring" in the track title can finally fight for a place in your personal charts.
Maloja gets rid of all the extra stuff: social networking, radios, recommendations, etc. It only keeps track of your listening history and lets you analyze it. This focus on its core allow it to potentially implement much better database features. One example: Maloja supports multiple artists per track. This means artists like Laura Brehm who are often just "featuring" in the track title get a place in your charts, and collaborations between several of your favorite artists finally get credited to all participants.
### Why not use the established API?
Compatibility creates overhead effort. I only made this for myself, so I have no need to support lots of music players and scrobblers.
