Last.fm scrobling (again)

Answered
Korvenwin

I know that there is another thread about this request, but the official answer five years ago was:

Thanks for the feedback - we continue to work with Last.FM on making this happen.

Five years later, there is no support to scrobbling and no answer after this. 

Is there any official coment?

Thank you

    Hi Korven

    Please feel free to reach out to Last.FM and let them know your interest in having it available in BluOS.

    So I you tell me that the problem is in Last.FM.

    They told that the implementation should be done by BluOS:

    The users (who pay) are in the middle :(

    Another useless answer. It is the client, bluesound, that needs to send/scrobble to last.fm using their already existing API...

    How the hell is last.fm supposed to update the bluos app for that option? Please elaborate, Tony.

    Would be interested to see if other competitors have that baked in their software already..?

    Please has this feature in future update. It need to be done by BluOS not by Last.fm.

    So the chance of allowing to scrobble our music has been missed again. Any info on when we will be able to do this?

    Never. The development on NAD/Bluesound is very very slow.

    With this update, the pops between tracks with different frequency on my C399 still persist after one year.

    Following. I would really love to see this implementation. And as others have said, I'm not sure how it is supposed to originate with Last.FM?

    I've noticed this morning that on my Last.fm app on my phone it shows BluOS as an option to scrobble from!

    I've enabled that option, however, I'm still not getting my plays showing. I know from this thread and others that the onus is on Bluesound to push the info to Last.fm, so am presuming that still hasn't happened, unless there's been a recent change to allow this?

     

    Certainly seems like Last.fm are ready for us now!

    Andrew, presume that is Android? Nothing like that on iOS yet.

    It will not appear on IOS. What the Android user see is a list of ALL music apps in his/her phone to do scrobble to Last.fm with the app phone. It is not any relation between BluOS and Last.fm sadly.

    I understand that some of you enjoy the discovery elements and stats associated with Last.fm and their service but it is unlikely that we will develop this any further than we currently have it.  It's not about the folks that enjoy it, it's about the consistency of the service and our reluctance to support something that in itself is declining MoM.  Look at Reddit for all of the articles for those that use it with Spotify.  We did look at it a few years ago and the reporting mechanisms weren't hard, but the updates were so inconsistent in our test data that we used that we felt people would be generally and consistently unhappy.
