I guess you are old, haha. Last.fm was cool around 2003-2005. All kids scrobbled back then - I scrobble to this day, lol. I love statistics and I have statistics of my music listening habits of the last 15 years of my life. Is it useful? No. Do I love it? Yeah.

I've been scrobbling religiously since 2006. To think of all the time I've spent ensuring that everything I listen to on and offline gets scrobbled...I'll never get that time back and I guess I'm ok with that because I'm still doing it. Too much history to stop now. I mean I visit the site a handful of times per day for some reason. Before some of the major redesigns I used it to track shows I wanted to attend, get some recommendations, chat with people on occasion. They've really fucked up some of those features unfortunately, but at least we can still track our listening habits.

I've been familiar with last.fm since that time but never made the site a habit.  Always preferred discogs for straight up information and my own catalog for listening.  That left last.fm without a purpose, to me at least.

 

I'm all for statistics.  Numbers, lists, percentages, graphs, spreadsheets, all fun stuff.  Scrobble?  Not a clue.  As made up words go, it's just odd.  As my wife commented when I asked her, "It sounds like boogers".

An odd word, indeed. But I enjoy having a record of everything I listen to. None of it listened to on the actual last.fm site (ok maybe a little bit of last.fm radio listening early on). It's just connected to my iTunes and Spotify to track what I play. And there are ways to submit physical media plays you've done offline too. I'm playing a record right now and as soon as it's over I will submit the tracks to last.fm, hahahah. ?

Now I remember why I didn't like last.fm.  They seemed to have great difficulty parsing artists with identical names:

Yes, that is definitely annoying, that to this day they haven't figured it out. Oh well, at least I know which artist I'm scrobbling.
