rescrobbled ~ Music Scrobbler Daemon

Posted by tom2tec on

Rescrobbled is a music scrobbler daemon. It detects active media players running on D-Bus using MPRIS, automatically updates “now playing” status, and scrobbles songs to Last.fm or ListenBrainz-compatible services as they play.

Among other things, due to sharing a Spotify account, I needed a way to scrobble to Last.fm without connecting the Spotify account to my Last.fm account. Rescrobbled offers a simple solution for this.
