I’ve seen this raised a million times but all the topics are closed. Scrobbling doesn’t happen live, it seems to happen whenever I switched from playing on my Sonos speakers via Spotify to another device (i.e. phone, laptop). If I play music only on my speakers for a week it will never scrobble anything.

 

When it does scrobble if you switch away, as mentioned it only scrobbles the last 50 tracks, meaning I lose hundreds if not thousands of scrobbles a month.

 

This may seem silly, but I’ve used last.fm since 2008 and I really enjoy keeping a proper back catalog of music throughout my life...I would really like this to work properly.

And they have made it clear that they won't. 

I know the company has more important things to do deal with right now, like stying solvent, but it's honestly not good enough that we find ourselves in this situation. 

To me it looks more like they have absolutely no clue what they are talking about. Last fm has made it super easy for third parties to incorporate their API. A big portion of their most intensive users would benefit from this (thinking that last fm users are mostly audiophiles).

They don't want to know. They're not interested. 

For many years I used last.fm in combination with Sonos in Germany - not often, but again and again, e.g. to search for rare songs. Since the app revision, the service has disappeared permanently and I am appalled by this. I urgently request that last.fm be reimplemented.
