Description

Foo_scrobble is a foobar2000 component for scrobbling to https://www.last.fm/.

Features

* Uses the Scrobbling 2.0 API. You authorize the component with last.fm instead of entering your login credentials into foobar2000.
* Supports "Now Playing" notifications.
* Handles intermittent network outages or reconnects well. No "waiting for handshake" issue.
* Manages the scrobble cache automatically. There is no need to manually submit the cache.
* Allows custom tags for scrobbled details.

Usage

To get started, open foobar2000's preferences, navigate to Tools > Last.fm Scrobbling and use the top button to authorize your client. The button has a helpful tooltip with detailed instructions.

Notes

You may have to install Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015-2022. Windows 7 also requires Update for Windows 7 (KB2999226) which usually is already installed via Windows Update.
