Simple Last.fm Scrobbler

Simple Last.fm Scrobbler is a simple app that scrobbles music listened to on an Android phone. Scrobbling means submitting listening information to Last.fm (and optionally/additionally Libre.fm) when you play a track, and you can then get music recommendations and view you listening history and statistics at Last.fm.

More on scrobbling.

If anyone wants to take part in developing this app further, I'm looking for contributors. Please email me.

If you need inspiration on stuff to do, see the Roadmap or the list of issues.

Supports:

  • Scrobbling
  • Now playing notifications

Known compatible devices: 3

  • Samsung Galaxy Spica (not working with built-in 2.1 music app)

Issues:

1 Uses the Scrobble Droid API - identifies under "Enabled apps" as "Scrobble Droid Apps".

2 It presents itself to SLS as the Android Music Player. This means that it won't show up under "Enabled apps" under its real name, but under Android Music Player.

3 SLS should work on any device that can install it, and that can run one of the music apps above.

FAQ on how to get scrobbling to work in the different apps.

For the SLS's current rating and comments on the Android Market, see AndroidPIT.

  • A small MD5 utilities class seems to be written by many people, but it is released under GPLv2, and I got it from here.
  • The Last.fm logo is copyright of Last.fm, taken from their media kit.
  • The Libre.fm logo is probably copyright of Libre.fm, used in good faith. (Because of their name and stated mission, I assume it is okay).

I use copyright here only in the sense of proper attribution. Do whatever you want with the code (as long as the licenses are followed). I switched to the Apache License 2.0 for a less viral license.
