A browser extension created for people who listen to music online through their browser, and would like to keep an updated playback history using scrobbling services, such as Last.fm, Libre.fm and ListenBrainz. Available for Chrome, Chromium-based browsers (Opera, Vivaldi, etc), Firefox, and Safari (macOS and iOS).

Scrobble my balls

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

Scrob...what?

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.

Some people actually do, especially for people from similar music fandom.

I use Last.fm for more than decade and its nice to find fellow friend that have incredibly same niche music taste.

In a way, it's the same as peopel sharing books collection on Goodreads or tracking movie list on Letterboxd.

"Mom, I want Scrabble."

"We have Scrabble at home..."

"scrobbling". Man, I thought that died alongside Digg.com

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?

[-] clmbmb@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 21 hours ago

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

[-] vort3@lemmy.ml 1 points 21 hours ago

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

[-] tehWrapper@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

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.
