On: Last.fm turns 20

Last.fm was cool and had huge community but cbs bought it and rewrote it making it slower, clunkier and removing features, essentially destroying it.

Back in the day practically all players (including spotify) had scrobbling support.

Spotify is still scrobbling!

Anyone found a better scrobbling service? Preferably that one can self host?

https://listenbrainz.org/ is open source (from the MusicBrainz ppl), though not really intended for self-hosting.

You can import your Last.fm history over to ListenBrainz too. Most of the 'scrobbling' apps will work with ListenBrainz also.

I believe FunkWhale is attempting something along these lines: https://fediverse.party/en/funkwhale/

I had even managed scrobbling from the iPod classic. There used to be a windows app that would keep track of all the music listened to since <last scrobble> and would scrobble the bulk, in batches.
