I hope Last.FM never goes away; I've been tracking my scrobbles since 2005

Same here. I love Last.fm for the scrobbling and history of what I listen to. I also scrobble to Libre.FM and a custom one but Last.FM is still my favorite.

Currently at 94,000+ scrobbles since June 2007.

You can scrobble from almost anything including the Last.FM client, WebScrobbler [1] and some streaming apps have it built in like Spotify.

It's so good addon. Im so happy that I discovered it and through this DKFM radio.

Me too! 480,000 scrobbles and still going. I recently downloaded all of my scrobbles so that at least I'd have the listening data in case the service ever goes down.

I did the same recently after seeing it was possible. 150,000 scrobbles for me, which I thought was a lot until I saw your count!

I've seen users with 1.7 million scrobbles on Libre.fm (which means they imported their scrobble history)

Aw shucks,low compatibility.

Late 90s me would have had a higher compatibility with you, there are a few blasts from my past in your scrobbles. Followed!

Only 72k for me, but there was a time for several years where I wasn't listening to any music on my computer. Something that working from home has seriously changed :D

I've got high compatibility with carldr.

You signed up to last.fm (well, audioscrobbler) two days after I did in 2005. I’ve followed you there, I’ll trawl through your top tracks tomorrow.

I’m surprised/happy to see iLiKETRAINS as your top track.

Music geeks might appreciate this. I recently made a CD wall of my most-scrobbled albums: https://photos.app.goo.gl/GkXKM1FpmsqwzALP7

I’d like to shake you by the six hands, love that.

Good band! Saw them perform live a few weeks back.

Only high? I have super with you :)

If you are shrikemen, Teenage Fanclub are the first band I saw live. Looking through your profile, I’m surprised we are only Medium.

That’s the pro-tip of the day folks! Last.fm is actually at the top of my “things to backup at the beginning of each year” list, there are quite a few website that allow you to generate a CSV in minutes, and even some pretty decent CLI tools.

Seems like there's one here: https://github.com/benfoxall/lastfm-to-csv

Same here. Since the pre-merger days when it was just Audioscrobbler and we all had those cool signature images in the forums. I'm at 283k scrobbles now.

I really liked AudioScrobbler as a name, the site felt like it lost a piece of its personality when it changed.

High five, my current account is also from 2005. I listen so much stuff and also forget as well, but the heart button is the life saver. Still scrobbling every day.
