Last.FM - No scrobble or double scrobble

I'm using my Sonos since last Thursday, and it all work very great. However, I've got a small problem including my Last.FM music service. I added my Last.FM account on thursday, and it started "double scrobbling" all the songs that I listen to. I remember that since a couple of months Last.FM-account is connected to your Spotify-account, so I realised that I probably don't need to add the Last.FM service on my Sonos. However, when I turned Last.FM on my Sonos "off", it stopped scrobbling at all. When I turn it back on it starts double scrobbling again.

Anyone got any idea how to fix this?

I think I found the problem. Since a couple of months your last.fm account is already embedded in spotify (once you activated it).

However, it looked like that when I was playing music through the sonos app, it didn't register the song as "Played through Spotify", so no scrobble. However, those scrobbles are only added at an X point in time (I think once I opened spotify on my phone on the Wi-fi). Then it started syncing.

So, for me the problem is solved, by actually not using the Last.FM in Sonos.

Is there any intention to fix this? Having recently gotten sonos, this is definitely the only bugbear I have - I can either turn off scrobbling entirely, or I get double - one from Sonos when starting a song, and one from Spotify when it finishes.

    I have been on last.fm since the Audioscrobbler days, over 14 years now, and despite the virtual demise of last.fm in terms of what it was and what it could have been, I still use it to track my music. I am having this exact same problem, with double scrobbles appearing some time after the tracks are actually played. This means I have to go through my account deleting all of the second scrobbles which can be a huge pain if I haven't done it for a few days. It is brilliant that last.fm and spotify are both included within Sonos, but is there any chance of this being fixed at all? I have pretty much stopped listening to Spotify through Sonos because of this.
