I am slowly migrating away from Last.fm (which still has one blogging friend who randomly quotes my statistics) to ListenBrainz. Initial import from Last.fm works just well - and after that, I needed to improvise:
- Music player: cmus.
- Scrobbling: cmus-status-scrobbler with both services enabled in the configuration file.
My “status display program” is a small shell script that does not (much) more than call cmus_status_scrobbler.py. Works just well: ListenBrainz, Last.fm. :-)
strawberry music player (desktop) and pano scrobbler (android) also do parallel scrobbling; they are my mechanism
Strawberry does not have macOS developers right now, and I also use iOS. But yes, on some systems, actively maintained alternatives exist.
i had it been using it on mac before i jumped off for linux a year or two ago, and now that you mention it, it didn’t seem well maintained even then. thanks for the reminder!
I’ve been running it on MacOS 13, seems to work fine.
