Selfhostable alternative to last.fm (sh.itjust.works)

I'm interested in selfhosting, if possible, an equivelant to last.fm -- it would analyze the history of what I listen to, and provide me with recommendations, and listening history reports.

Aside, last.fm as a federated service would be quite interesting. It would be neat to add a federated social media aspect to it.

Its possible with anonymous data. But you do need other user's data. So it would need to somehow be not just self-hostee but also federated. With lots of dsts from other servers

The issue, I think, is that having access to a user's entire listening history could very well be used to identify that user -- one's full listening history is likely to be rather unique.
