This plan outlines the implementation of functionality to manage
arbitrary rules for fixing data in the `scrobbled_tracks` table. The
system will support two types of transformations:
1. **Album Rule**: Update the album MusicBrainz ID of all tracks
belonging to a specific album (identified by album title)
2. **Artist Rule**: Update the artist MusicBrainz ID of all tracks
belonging to a specific artist (identified by artist name)
- `scrobbled_tracks` table exists with the following structure:
- `scrobbled_at_uts` (integer, primary key)
- `musicbrainz_id` (string) - track MusicBrainz ID
- `title` (string) - track title
- `cover_url` (string)
- `scrobbled_at_label` (string)
- `artist` (map) - embedded artist data with `musicbrainz_id` and
`name`
- `album` (map) - embedded album data with `musicbrainz_id` and
`title`
- `last_fm_data` (map) - raw Last.fm API response
- `LastFm.Track` - Schema for scrobbled tracks
- `LastFm.Artist` - Embedded artist schema
- `LastFm.Album` - Embedded album schema
- Main navigation has Stats, Collection, Wishlist sections
- "More" dropdown contains development tools and utilities
- Uses Phoenix LiveView for interactive components
**File**:
`priv/repo/migrations/YYYYMMDDHHMMSS_create_scrobble_rules.exs`
Create `scrobble_rules` table with:
- `id` (primary key)
- `type` (string) - "album" or "artist"
- `match_value` (string) - album title or artist name to match
- `target_musicbrainz_id` (string) - MusicBrainz ID to set
- `enabled` (boolean) - whether rule is active
- `description` (text) - optional description for the rule
- `inserted_at` (timestamp)
- `updated_at` (timestamp)
Indexes:
- `type, match_value` (compound index for efficient matching)
- `enabled` (for filtering active rules)
**File**: `lib/music_library/scrobble_rules/scrobble_rule.ex`
Create Ecto schema with:
- Field definitions matching migration
- Validations:
- `type` must be "album" or "artist"
- `match_value` required and non-empty
- `target_musicbrainz_id` required and non-empty
- `enabled` defaults to true
- Changeset functions for create/update operations
**File**: `lib/music_library/scrobble_rules.ex`
Implement context functions:
- `list_scrobble_rules(opts \\ [])` - list all rules with optional
filtering
- `get_scrobble_rule!(id)` - get specific rule by ID
- `create_scrobble_rule(attrs)` - create new rule
- `update_scrobble_rule(rule, attrs)` - update existing rule
- `delete_scrobble_rule(rule)` - delete rule
- `change_scrobble_rule(rule, attrs \\ %{})` - create changeset
- `list_enabled_rules()` - get only enabled rules for worker
- `apply_album_rule(rule)` - apply album transformation
- `apply_artist_rule(rule)` - apply artist transformation
- `apply_all_rules()` - apply all enabled rules
**File**: `lib/music_library_web/components/layouts/app.html.heex`
Add new navigation link in the "More" dropdown:
- Icon: `hero-adjustments-horizontal`
- Label: "Scrobble Rules"
- Route: `/scrobble-rules`
- Position: After "Oban" link, before separator
**File**: `lib/music_library_web/router.ex`
Add new LiveView routes in the authenticated scope:
- `/scrobble-rules` - index page
- `/scrobble-rules/new` - create new rule
- `/scrobble-rules/:id/edit` - edit existing rule
**File**: `lib/music_library_web/live/scrobble_rules_live/index.ex`
Implement LiveView with:
- List view showing all rules with status indicators
- Create/Edit forms with validation
- Delete confirmation
- Filter controls (by type, enabled/disabled)
- Manual rule application triggers
- Real-time updates via PubSub
**Template**:
`lib/music_library_web/live/scrobble_rules_live/index.html.heex`
- Table layout with rule details
- Action buttons (Edit, Delete, Apply)
- Form components for create/edit
- Status indicators for enabled/disabled rules
**File**:
`lib/music_library_web/live/scrobble_rules_live/form_component.ex`
Create reusable form component:
- Type selection (album/artist)
- Match value input with validation
- Target MusicBrainz ID input
- Description textarea
- Enable/disable toggle
- Save/Cancel actions
Where possible, use the components available at
<https://docs.fluxonui.com/1.1.4/overview.html>.
**File**: `lib/music_library/scrobble_rules/worker.ex`
Implement Oban worker:
- Scheduled to run periodically (e.g., every 30 minutes)
- Fetches all enabled rules
- Applies each rule in sequence
- Logs application results
- Handles errors gracefully
- Tracks last application time
**File**: `test/music_library/scrobble_rules_test.exs`
- Test all context functions
- Test rule application logic
- Test edge cases and error handling
**File**: `test/music_library/scrobble_rules/scrobble_rule_test.exs`
- Test schema validations
- Test changeset functions
- Test constraint validations
**File**: `test/music_library_web/live/scrobble_rules_live_test.exs`
- Test LiveView interactions
- Test form submissions
- Test real-time updates
- Test navigation and routing
**File**: `test/music_library/scrobble_rules/worker_test.exs`
- Test job execution
- Test rule application
- Test error handling
- Test scheduling
- Ensure atomic operations when applying rules
- Validate MusicBrainz IDs before applying
- Log all transformations for audit trail
- Index optimization for rule matching
- Batch processing for large datasets
- Rate limiting for external API calls
- Clear feedback on rule application
- Preview mode to show what would change
- Bulk operations for managing multiple rules
- Export/import functionality for rule sets
- Input validation and sanitization
- Rate limiting on rule creation
- Audit logging for all changes
```sql

match_value TEXT NOT NULL,
target_musicbrainz_id TEXT NOT NULL,
enabled BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT TRUE,

CREATE INDEX idx_scrobble_rules_type_match ON scrobble_rules(type,

CREATE INDEX idx_scrobble_rules_enabled ON scrobble_rules(enabled);

1. Database migration and schema
2. Context module with basic CRUD operations
3. LiveView interface for rule management
4. Navigation and routing updates
5. Periodic worker implementation
6. Comprehensive testing
7. Documentation and deployment
This plan ensures a robust, maintainable solution that integrates
seamlessly with the existing Music Library application architecture.
Music Library
- Music Library
Features
- Add records from MusicBrainz, with optional override of specific pieces of data
- Manage a collection and a wishlist of records, with ways to quickly search and filter based on records' metadata
- Integration with Last.fm:
- display latest scrobbles, and where possible connect them with records in the collection or wishlist
- scrobble a record
- Some basic stats
- All data stored in a single SQLite database for portability and ease of backup/restore
- Ideal for deployment on a server with limited resources (1CPU, 512MB RAM)

Setup
The project is managed and configured via mise-en-place:
mise installwill pull the correct Erlang, Elixir and Node.js versionsmise run dev:setupwill setup dependencies and database structure
Important
The project uses Fluxon UI, so it requires a valid set of credentials. See the
envsection inmise.tomlfor the required environment variables.
Environment configuration
The application requires the following environment variables:
LAST_FM_USER: the Last.fm username used to populate the Scrobble ActivityLAST_FM_API_KEY(secret): the Last.fm API key used to fetch the Scrobble ActivityOPENAI_KEY(secret): the OpenAI API key used to populating genres
In production, the application also requires:
LOGIN_PASSWORD(secret): the password used for accessing the application.
You can create a mise.local.toml with the required variables (sample values
are included at the top of mise.toml).
Running the application
Start the Phoenix endpoint with mix phx.server or inside IEx with
iex -S mix phx.server.
Now you can visit localhost:4000 from your browser.
The default password for development is change me.
Deployment
The application is setup for deployment on Fly.io - just make sure you edit
fly.toml to match your app name, domain, etc.
CI
See the .github folder.
Architecture
See the docs folder.
