how will you go about cataloging listens when last.fm inevitably

last.fm will never die

I dunno, it wasn't doing very well financially and then they Justed it with the update and it plummeted in popularity, at least on /mu/. They are even nagging for money now

The nail in the coffin for me was when I unhooked my phone from my speaker setup in the living room and hooked up my new Amazon Echo Dot like "finally, now I can have my phone in my pocket while I stream music in the living room and control it with my laptop."

Too late did I realize that last.fm hasn't enabled scrobbling from spotify when the device is an Amazon Echo. Why, I'll never know. But that's it for last.fm and me. I won't go back even if they fix it, because I've realized something:

Without the ability to scrobble, I started listening to the music I actually liked. I didn't race to scrobble new releases, and I became a slightly happier person. So that's that for me. I wish the company success, though.

i'll just do it manually like the autist i am
or i'll hire someone to do it for me

I'll probably use the music player local data for my own amusement

Instead of telling the audioscrobbler plugin to point to last.fm's servers, you write to a local file.

Of course /mu/ is full of brainlets who have probably never written a simple script in there lives...

sonemic is gonna have scrobbling lol

prove it!

I stopped scrobbling back in 2013, best decision I could've made. I always felt that my listening was tied down. Like, if I listened to a CD in the car, I'd feel compelled to manually scrobble it. The same with vinyl. After I stopped, I felt like I could listen freely.
