I've backed up over 12 years of last.fm scrobbling with this tool and imported it in Maloja.

Maybe this? https://benjaminbenben.com/lastfm-to-csv/

I emailed him directly and he suggested using https://benjaminbenben.com/lastfm-to-csv/ for anyone else having this issue. Just note that Last.fm refuses scrobbles older than two weeks, which wasn't an issue, my library was essential and the scrobble time and order were nice-to-haves.

First you need to go to: https://benjaminbenben.com/lastfm-to-csv/ get the csv of all your files, save it to same directory the code is in, then rename the file on line 7 to your csv

I feel like if users have to get an API key to use it probably won't get much use. I haven't seen any myself that require it, but some like https://benjaminbenben.com/lastfm-to-csv/ have an option in the settings to use your own key(Could be helpful if the developers key stops working and doesn't fix it quickly, the user can use their own).

There's also ListenBrainz, run by the MusicBrainz org, which offers similar functionality without API restrictions or other paid features that Last.FM tries to push.

If you wish to use your scrobble data at all programmatically this is a far better tool to use.

If you really <3 clean data you can give listenbrainz.org a go (you can scrobble to that and last.fm concurrently so no need to ‘jump ship’)

Thanks for sharing, yea listenbrainz.org has been doing some great work. Also has an API which can make things interesting.

One way I keep up is using https://listenbrainz.org/ to track my listening habits. Then when you're logged in https://listenbrainz.org/explore/fresh-releases/ will show new releases from artists you listen to, and with KPop you can assume there is video(s) to go with each new release so I just go to youtube then to find them.

Spotify at least was the problem when there was tons of people complaining daily. But if last.fm is the problem now and otherwise you could try https://listenbrainz.org/ as well. You can even import your last.fm history.

But if you have issues with last.fm itself there is always ListenBrainz as well. I recommend both to everyone. I scrobble to last.fm, then import to ListenBrainz, but you can send your listens straight to ListenBrainz as well.

listenbrainz.org solves this problem, but it’s not as feature complete as last.fm, yet.

A friend who's hard into obscura sent me this: https://listenbrainz.org Could be hot, could be not.

p.s. listenbrainz.org doesn’t have this duplication problem 👍
