Last.fm

honestly last.fm/goodreads/scrobbling stuff is the best of the internet

I had to stop scrobbling stuff because it was an obsession (and because Last.fm on Mac is fucked.)

The amount of time I spent correcting scrobbles from my iPod ...

none of those words are in the Bible, etc

starting a new account is one of the best things i’ve done this year. it’s… focused? my listening

I had to stop scrobbling stuff because it was an obsession (and because Last.fm on Mac is fucked.)

Like I mentioned upthread, Neptunes is *so much better* at scrobbling on the Mac.

!!!

I still scrobble for my own amusement, but the social nature of the site largely died years ago, once concert listings were removed and the disastrous redesign happened. A decade ago, the site was so popular that, at least in my country, a lot of one’s hipster friends were scrobbling there. Plus, it was easy to make new real-life friends by seeing who else in your town was listening to X and arranging to meet up. That doesn’t really happen anymore.

my android scrobbler stopped working a couple of weeks ago and I had no idea until yesterday, was easy to reset, but lost all those scribbles, annoying, this is not the first time either.

I wasn't aware of any issues scrobbling on Macs although as I play music through two I know that it works fine on one but then for scrobbles to be logged from the other I have to start a new session or resume it back on the first Mac.

And so yeah the obsession just about continues.

got Neptunes but it won't open.

my top most played new tracks of the year (had to compile this myself):

1. mariah the scientist — "church" 79 plays
2. kendrick lamar — "rich spirit" 73 plays
3. ella mai — "power of a woman" 56 plays
4. lucky date — "feels like" 47 plays
5. carla morrisson — "diamantes" 42 plays
6. sza — "shirt" 41 plays
7. kendrick lamar — "mirror" 40 plays
8. kendrick lamar — "die hard" 34 plays
9. kendrick lamar — "the heart part 5" 33 plays
10. lightning in a twilight hour — "the circling of the seasons" 28 plays

*lucky DAYE sry

nice, my most played tracks EVER are only just over 50 plays

i just started using this again after like 13 years.

welcome back! it rules

I'm mainly doing it for the scrobbling feature but if anyone wants to add me (I think I'm connected to like three other ilxors and no one else now) feel free: https://www.last.fm/user/akmonday/

it seems that this now won't scrobble music played via apple music on mobile, is this true?

I have to turn scrobbling off and on again every few months on my phone as it will suddenly stop for no obvious reason every now and again.

You have to get another app to do it manual. QuietScrob. Works well although not free. Not expensive nevertheless.

The last.fm app scrabbles, you just have to do it manually.

Still out there, still scrobbling https://www.last.fm/user/quartz_city

When is that tour happening?!

scrobbled starless and bible black today, and learned the following:

(NOTE: Album covers and band images are not available due to certain legal restrictions imposed on Last.fm by King Crimson's management.)

yeah that's one of those weird anomalies arisingfrom legal shenanigans - like bryan adams not having an entry on allmusic.com

I was going to make a poll of this but blimey we have enough polls already

Top 10 most listened to albums over the last 3.5 years on my lastfm account

1. Billy Woods/Kenny Seagal - Maps
2. El Kinto - Circa 1968
3. Lil Ugly Mane - VOLCANIC BIRD ENEMY AND THE VOICED CONCERN
4. Fontaines DC - Skinty Fia
5. Cathal Coughlan - Song of Co-Aklan
6. ACDC - Power Up
7. Pearl Jam - Vs
8. Sofie - Cult Survivor
9. Mr Fingers - Around the Sun pt.1
10. The Reds, Pinks and Purples - Uncommon Weather

Finding I have to jump start the Spotify Scrobbling app by disabling it, logging out, back in again and re-enabling it more and more. Switching between desktop app, web app and mobile app can still seemingly really confuse it also.

Same for me. Although everything scribbled when the connection was "lost" shows up on reconnecting

my phone blocks it for no apparent reason and doesn't tell me, it does this every three months or so.

I got lazy about constantly re-connecting and found that the missing scrobbles will eventually show up after about a few days to a week anyway.

File this under 'things that shouldn't matter but HELL they matter': listening to lots of Grant-Lee Phillips and different platforms calling him Grant Lee vs others calling him Grant-Lee and the result being split results on last.fm. Damn. I assume there's no way of fixing this? (And, again, why should this even matter to me?)

Odd one, all my listening is scrobbling ok. However albums listened to in past 7 days isn’t updating or only doing so after several hours.

they posted yesterday that they had problems with scrobbling

Ah, ok didn’t see that. Thanks.

Aye, I saw it on Twitter.

We're currently investigating a possible lag issue with scrobbling, which started approximately 2pm BST (30 mins ago). Scrobbles should come through, but may be slightly delayed. Sorry for any inconvenience caused by this.
