A simple Last.fm/Libre.fm scrobbler for MPD.

mpdscrobble

A simple Last.fm scrobbler for MPD.

If you are searching for a mpd-compatible last.fm scrobbler, check out first mpdscribble, as mpdscrobble has less features than mpdscribble:

• no journal of failed scrobbles
• it needs a pair of Last.fm API key/secret instead of just username/password

The script mpdscribble_history.py can be used to scrobble a list of tracks from a mpdscribble journal file.

Requirements

• mpd-python2
• pylast
