> You can't use more than one scrobbling service simultaneously.
Well, I have the perfect solution for you. :) It's not a deadbeef plugin, but a user daemon that can load the track information from any player and can submit to Last.fm, Libre.fm and ListenBrainz.
The project is on github[1] and I believe it's packaged for Archlinux, Fedora, openSUSE.

If you're interested in a better version of that I have a project that works with all players that support the MPRIS DBus interface: https://github.com/mariusor/mpris-ctl. I'm using it for keybindings to play/pause and show song information with a tiling windows manager.

My setup is using spotpris2 together with spotifyd and control them with mpris-ctl.
