Scrob...what?

wikti

Noun scrobble (plural scrobbles) A datum or the aggregate data collected by this means.

- It's a term invented by Last.fm that didn't really catch on more generally because it's too silly even for the Internet.

  By Audioscrobbler, which merged later with last.fm

  I never never cared about my own or other people's music listening history. And I never talked to someone who does. So I never needed a word for the thing, I guess.

- Obligatory

- "Mom, I want Scrabble."

I can no longer hear Scrobble without thinking of Funhaus: https://youtu.be/ZR8az1UMOiQ

I’ve used this for several years. I miss when it was trivial to get scrobbling support on anything. Weirdly despite how portable players now have access to Wi-Fi & Bluetooth tethering, nothing support scrobbling out of the box. Last.fm even used to give good recommendations before it went downhill. You can say there is now value in trying to help ListenBrainz make a new recommendation algorithm with open data, but less folks have been using such platforms in the wake of leaving their data in the hands of Spotify & YouTube.

- I'm hopeful that other projects like Jellyfin (which can support scrobbling via plugins) will turn this around

I actually started using my own media and am trying to cut down on streaming. Went back to last.fm a few weeks ago.

I don't feel libre.fm is very active in development?

- Try using musicbrainz's scrobble service, listenbrainz - it's actively developed and works pretty well.

- There were some news on major overhaul of libre.fm recently IIRC.

  I just did a hunt for some recent info on libre.fm and found a blog with updates..
  
  https://librefm.wordpress.com/2024/10/06/bunch-of-updates-to-libre-fm-this-week-2024-10-06/
  
  looks like the reboot of libre.fm is located at https://github.com/foocorp/hacienda but is still very in the starting stages.
