When you compare these numbers to Last.fm’s, Libre.fm’s numbers are very small – but if you consider the very short time that it has been live, these numbers start to look pretty good. (Note that since Libre.fm lets you import your Last.fm listening history, many of these plays have been previously scrobbled at Last.fm).
As I write this, about 340K tracks have been scrobbled by 2011 users with a total of 920052 plays. Libre.fm has only been live for a few week – but it is already closing in on its millionth scrobble. The only discovery tool so far at Libre.fm is the clickable ‘Explore popular artist’ cloud:
However, there are some critical missing bits – perhaps most significant of these is the lack of a recommender. There is already quite a lot of functionality on the web front end – there are (at least minimal) user, artist, album and track pages. It is a clever way to get instant support for Libre.fm by lots of clients, but I must admit I feel a bit dirty lying to my computer about where to send the scrobbles.)Īnother component of Libre.fm is the web front end (called nixtape) that shows what people are playing, what is popular, artist charts and clouds. (Note that to get many clients to work you actually have to modify your /etc/hosts file to redirect outgoing connections that would normally go to so that they go to the libre.fm scrobbling machine. This server is compatible with Last.fm’s so nearly all scrobbling clients will scrobble to Libre.fm. Right now there’s a minimal scrobbler server (called GNUkebox) that will take anyone’s scrobbles and adds them to a postgres database. Not only is paint is not dry, they’ve only just put down the drop cloth, got the brushes ready and opened the can. The Libre project is just getting underway.
LASTFM SCROBBLER SPOTIFY CODE
All the Libre.fm code is released under the GNU AGPL. As the name implies, everything about Libre.fm is free. With Libre.fm you can scrobble your music play behavior to a central server, where your data is aggregated with all of the other scrobbles and can be used to create charts, recommendations, playlists – all the sorts of things we see at Last.fm. Your email address won't be used for any other purpose than is essentially an open source clone of Last.fm’s audioscrobbler. I'd love to hear from you! Use the button below to email me with any thoughts, or feedback (and if you'd like your comment published or not). Fantastic! It also means you can disable the unreliable scrobbling from each Spotify app you use as they break at least once a week for seemingly no reason. This means you can now track your plays from the PS4, and other devices that utilise Spotify Connect such as the Bose Soundtouch speaker range. Some kind soul has therefore made the ‘ Spotify Scrobbler‘ Listenz (they had to change the name to avoid the spotify trademark, apparently.) However, recently Spotify released an updated API that allows the retrieval of the currently playing track. It’s pretty much impossible to scrobble songs you listen to via Spotify Connect via the standard spotify apps. The rest of this post is left as an archive.
LASTFM SCROBBLER SPOTIFY ANDROID
Connect to Spotify here (Spotify Scrobbling) and you’ll be good to Scrobble from Android Auto, Bose Soundtouch, PS4 and other Spotify connect applications. To enable this, head to your Last.fm account settings and open the Applications tab. The Listenz service has now been discontinued. Last.fm now natively supports scrobbling from Spotify Connect.
