web-scrobbler VS listenbrainz-server

If Web Scrobbler states on their website that these UK radio stations should be supported, you should check the Issues section of their GitHub page and write a report if there is something wrong:

The desktop scrobbler doesn't support Bandcamp scrobbling. To scrobble from Bandcamp you'll need to install the Web Scrobbler browser extension.

Nope, the desktop scrobbler only works with media players (iTunes/WMP). You can use the web player + web scrobbler combo if you'd rather not connect your Spotify account.

Posting this in case any one else runs in to the same problem. I found a discussion about this issue on Web Scrobbler's github page: https://github.com/web-scrobbler/web-scrobbler/issues/3462 Seems to be happening to other people and not yet resolved.

Webscrobbler

I find I use Web Scrobbler to listen to a wide variety of radio. You can discover new artists in volume that way.

For client side last.fm support the site could be added to this web-extension.

https://github.com/web-scrobbler/web-scrobbler/

assuming the UI expresses meta data in an easily scrapable way.

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.

https://listenbrainz.org/

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 👍
