Last.fm Scrobbler
Last.fm Scrobbler is a desktop application that automatically records the songs you listen to in iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify and other music players, uploading them to your Last.fm profile as "scrobbles". It runs quietly in the background and maintains your listening history, play counts, and favorite tracks on the Last.fm social music network. Users rely on it to create a permanent record of their listening habits and to generate personalized charts, statistics and music recommendations based on their actual play history.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionLast.fm Scrobbler has been discontinued by the developer — the app is no longer maintained or supported, and there is no native Apple Silicon version. The Intel build continues to run under Rosetta 2 today, but Apple is removing Rosetta from macOS 28 in September 2028, at which point this app will stop launching entirely. Rather than wait for a developer update that is unlikely to come, you should migrate to one of several actively maintained native alternatives. ScrobbleMate is a solid choice: it is a native macOS app built specifically for Apple Music scrobbling, runs natively on Apple Silicon, sits in your menu bar, and uses multiple detection methods to ensure reliable scrobbling. It is paid (a one-time purchase), but has a free trial. If you use Spotify or multiple music services, Muxie is another actively maintained native option that supports Apple Music, Spotify and portable devices, also built for Apple Silicon. Both are faster and lighter than running an abandoned Intel app under emulation, and you will not face a hard cutoff deadline in 2028.
