(1/n) Honestly, Last.fm really is the undisputed king of music scrobbling.

translated by translate.kagi.com

I've used LibreFM: (You need to join a waiting list and then wait a fortnight for the creator to send you registration details. The interface is very simple, and there are hardly any tutorials. At first, I was trying to figure out how to connect Spotify like on last.fm, only to realise later that you have to use the WebScrobbler extension);

ListenBrainz: (Probably Last.fm's biggest rival? A while ago it seems the CEO founder passed away; it's driven by the open-source community, but the API rate limits are quite strict! For example, using multi-scrobbler to sync a massive amount of records from last.fm will crazily throw 429 errors);

Maloja: (Self-hosted, but the data source is synced over via multi-scrobbler, which means I'm still using Last.fm, just with a different front-end UI. Moreover, the feature pages are quite bare-bones; only the album wall on the homepage is really worth looking at. I stopped hosting Maloja and multi-scrobbler a long time ago);

But none of them are as intuitive and easy to use as last.fm, nor do they have such a comprehensive ecosystem (for instance, from streaming services like Spotify, local players like MusicBee, browser extensions like WebScrobbler, to social discovery features, and so on and so forth);

However, the open-source community clearly prefers ListenBrainz. For example, GoToSocial has integrated ListenBrainz. If I hadn't already become so deeply invested in Last.fm and been put off by ListenBrainz in the past, I might be on ListenBrainz now on both Last.fm and ListenBrainz right now (), plus the lastfm API is really generous!

There's also teal.fm, but it's just been saying "Coming Soon"?

（1/n）话说Last.fm真的算是scrobble音乐的霸主了

我用过LibreFM：（需要加入WaitList然后等待半个月让作者给你发注册信息，界面非常简单，而且几乎没有教程，开始在找如何像last.fm一样连接spotify，后来才知道是用WebScrobbler插件）；

ListenBrainz：（应该算是Lastfm最大的对手？前一阵子好像 CEO 创始人去世了；开源社区驱动，但是API速率限制比较大！比如用multi-scrobbler从last.fm同步大量记录会疯狂报错429）；

Maloja：（自托管，但是数据源是通过multi-scrobbler同步过去的，意思是我还是在用Lastfm，只是换了一个前端UI，而且功能页面也比较简陋，也就首页专辑墙能看看了，我已经停止托管Maloja和multi-scrobbler很久了）；

但是都没有lastfm那么直观易用，生态那么完善（比如从流媒体Spotify、本地播放器MusicBee、浏览器插件WebScrobbler，还有社交发现属性，等等等等）；

但是开源社区明显更喜欢ListenBrainz，比如GoToSocial集成了ListenBrainz，要不是已经陷入了Lastfm和被ListenBrainz劝退过，我现在可能 在ListenBrainz了 ，即在Lastfm又在ListenBrainz了（），还有就是lastfm的API是真的慷慨！

还有teal.fm，但是一直在Coming Soon？

Oh, great.

What appears to be a botnet harvesting things to throw into the hopper of a slopinator has discovered my #Maloja instance, started scraping the pages of every artist, every album, every song I listened to for 20+ years at great speed and got the fan of the laptop that is my home server go WROUUUUUM!
