Now, Facebook does pretty much the same thing (except for with iTunes). Screenshot by Eliot Van Buskirk/Evolver.fm Last.fm's feature for this is called "scrobbling," based on the fact that it had acquired a company called AudioScrobbler in order to add it. It’s a good price, but there doesn’t seem to be urgency to fix any of its design problems.Long before Mark Zuckerberg dropped out of Harvard to found Facebook, Last.fm allowed music fans to keep an online record of the music they had been listening to in all sorts of music players, including iTunes, Winamp, and more. Apparently a manual option used to be available but is no longer for some odd reason? If you’re meticulous about your scrobbles, I wouldn’t waste your time on this app. The developer chose to rely on background refreshing, which doesn’t always work. This app’s success relies on accurate scrobbling, and it shouldn’t be too difficult to ensure that works, right? Very strange choices. Along with having to constantly reset the app, I don’t understand why it always seems to be two steps forward, one step back. All of those featured tracks are messing with the way my library is tracked. But for some reason there’s now another crucial missing feature that seems to be removed for no obvious reason? There used to be a way to scrobble using the album artist, and now there isn’t a way.

Does poweramp work wiht lastfm scrobbler update#
EDIT: This last update seems to fix many of the app’s issues, where I’m not losing scrobbles often if ever.
