web-scrobbler VS whipper

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.

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

Finding a good CD drive to rip them is the first step.

IME Discogs had the track data most often.

And obviously rip to flac

I have a music library on my home server that I use mopidy to play via the iris plugin integrated into my home assistant UI. It plays over Snapcast which streams over the network to multiple devices in the home with independent volume control. I can fire up the Snapcast client in my phone to get it going there as well, which does work over vpn if I'm away, though I generally just fire up the files from my phones SD card for out-of-home listening. I recently started using whipper on Linux to extract audio from craigslist cds.

It's a Linux app that does CD Ripping. It runs in command line and can basically be semi automatic. https://github.com/whipper-team/whipper

A drive to read CDs and Whipper (automatic bit-perfect checks, conversion to FLAC, and playlist file creation)

(eg. It's the first listed option for Whipper, which is the closest open-source alternative to Exact Audio Copy and a Python project with a ton of C dependencies... and I say this as someone who dislikes Docker enough that I still went through the hassle of the "Building" section.)
