Scrob...what?
Verb scrobble (third-person singular simple present scrobbles, present participle scrobbling, simple past and past participle scrobbled) (Internet slang) To publish one's media consumption habits to the Internet via software, in order to track when and how often certain items are played.
Noun scrobble (plural scrobbles) A datum or the aggregate data collected by this means.
I’ve used this for several years. I miss when it was trivial to get scrobbling support on anything. Weirdly despite how portable players now have access to Wi-Fi & Bluetooth tethering, nothing support scrobbling out of the box. Last.fm even used to give good recommendations before it went downhill. You can say there is now value in trying to help ListenBrainz make a new recommendation algorithm with open data, but less folks have been using such platforms in the wake of leaving their data in the hands of Spotify & YouTube.
"scrobbling". Man, I thought that died alongside Digg.com
