Quick Start Guide

Why should I use this over a browser extension and/or mobile app scrobbler?

• Platform independent -- Because multi-scrobbler communicates directly with service APIs it will scrobble everything you play regardless of where you play it. No more need for apps on every platform you use!
• Open-source -- Get peace of mind knowing exactly how your personal data is being handled.
• Track your activity regardless of where you listen -- Scrobble from many Sources to one Client with ease and without duplicating tracks.
• Manage scrobbling for others -- Scrobble for your friends and family without any setup on their part. Easily silo sources to specific clients to keep plays separate.

But I already scrobble my music to Last.fm/ListenBrainz, is multi-scrobbler for me?

Yes! You can use Last.fm as a Source or Listenbrainz as a Source to forward scrobbles from your profile to any other Client! That way you can keep your current scrobble setup as-is but still get the benefit of capturing your data to a self-hosted location.

How Does multi-scrobbler (MS) Work?

You set up configurations for one or more Sources and one or more Clients. MS monitors all of your configured Sources. When new tracks are played by a Source MS grabs that information and then sends it (scrobbles it) to all Clients that Source is configured to forward to.

Source

A Source is a data source that contains information about music you are playing or have listened to, such as: a desktop player, web music player, or cloud music service. Examples are Spotify, Jellyfin, Plex, Youtube Music, Navidrome, etc...

Source configurations consist of:

• A friendly name.
• Any data needed to communicate or authenticate with the Source.
• An optional list of Client names that the Source should scrobble to. If omitted the Source also scrobbles to all configured Clients.

Client

A Client is an application that stores the historical information about what music you have played (scrobbles). Examples are Koito, Last.fm, Listenbrainz...

Client configurations consist of:

• A friendly name.
• Any data needed to communicate or authenticate with the Client.
