I am slowly migrating away from Last.fm (which still has one blogging friend who randomly quotes my statistics) to ListenBrainz. Initial import from Last.fm works just well - and after that, I needed to improvise:
- Music player: cmus.
- Scrobbling: cmus-status-scrobbler with both services enabled in the configuration file.
My “status display program” is a small shell script that does not (much) more than call cmus_status_scrobbler.py
. Works just well: ListenBrainz, Last.fm. :-)
For mobile you can use Pano Scrobbler, it works with both
It does not seem to be in the App Store.
Oh it’s android only
:-(
strawberry music player (desktop) and pano scrobbler (android) also do parallel scrobbling; they are my mechanism
Strawberry does not have macOS developers right now, and I also use iOS. But yes, on some systems, actively maintained alternatives exist.
Nice, thank you! Also, for those who don’t want to use a console music player, Strawberry also has options for scrobbling to last.fm and ListenBrainz simultaneously.
Strawberry does not have macOS developers right now:
There currently isn’t any macOS developers actively working on this project, so we might not be able to help with issues specific to macOS.
So, while macOS has “downloads” available, I chose not to try it. That left me with
cmus
as the only option which I could find. (I compiled my own version of it, because of a few defaults I did not like.)
