Just listening to next month’s ScrobbleRadio Mix, so much good stuff in there. Gonna melt some faces off in May 🫠

If you're interested in following what's going on with scrobbling music (@last.fm, @listenbrainz.org, @teal.fm, @rocksky.app etc), add this feed. I've tried to hone in on discussions about the technology and process and less on the music sharing.

@last.fm is Elrond. It's 3000 years old and once a big player in the social media battles. People are often surprised it hasn't gone to the Grey Havens yet with MySpace and Friendster.

Thank you to the Eli Ridder with the Canadian Press for interviewing CHLY's Elke Sorenson! She's a gem of a student volunteer at our station, and has great taste in music and literature. She's going places!

ScrobbleRadio Mix is blasting off to the moon! Featuring new tracks by Pulp, PVA, Foxwarren, Mon Rovîa and Spencer Krug of Wolf Parade! #applemusic #musicsky

I pushed out a build last week that added some future facing functionality. One of the big issues I'd had was with regards to station groups. Like WFMU having Give The Drummer Radio, Rock & Soul and Sheena's Jungle Room as well as the main station. That was 4 connectors, but I've now got it using 1

March Mix Madness Featuring new tracks by Gorillaz, Broken Social Scene, Kate Le Bon & Lime Garden! #applemusic #musicsky

Just a heads up to KCRW fans, I added the proper KCRW station into the app. I had hesitated previously knowing it was a station that isn't always playing music, but now being able to scrobble Morning Becomes Eclectic is worth it.

November tunes now loading. New tunes by Courtney Barnett, HAIM & Bon Iver, Just Mustard and Richard Ashcroft! #AppleMusic #musicrecs #musicsky

See what your @last.fm friends are listening to at the same time. This is something I've seen asked for by many people, the idea of getting a Spotify-style friends are listening feature for last.fm

I found these new stations when reading this great article by @emwhitenoise.bsky.social on Gen Z's College Radio Revival.

Pushed a few new stations WRFL from Lexington, KY - scrobblerad.io#wrfl ACRN from Athens, OH - scrobblerad.io#acrn WCBN from Ann Arbor, MI - scrobblerad.io#wcbn

I pushed some improvements to the WFMU stations. Was having an issue where it wouldn’t show the data at times because the metadata format can change from show to show.

Gorillaz, Bob Moses, Born Ruffians and 37 other tasty morsels this month! #applemusic #playlists

Interesting study that employed lastfm data. Do you agree with the results?

Big update for Woof Moo fans @wfmu.bsky.social - scrobblerad.io#wfmu @gtdradio.bsky.social - scrobblerad.io#wfmudrummer @wfmurocknsoulradio.bsky.social - scrobblerad.io#wfmusoul @sjroomwfmu.bsky.social - scrobblerad.io#wfmusheena #wfmu

And on top of the station adds, I’ve added some rough station filtering, so you can narrow down the huge list of stations a bit

Have been lax on posting about new stations lately, so here’s a few of the big ones - SomaFm Groove Salad scrobblerad.io#somagroovesa... - CBC Music scrobblerad.io#cbcmusic - XRAY FM scrobblerad.io#xrayfm - 102.1 The Edge scrobblerad.io#cfny

Lastfm > Spotify 😊 @last.fm www.makeuseof.com/last-fm-mile...

New month, new mix! Tracks by Blood Orange, MJ Lenderman, Sloan, Big Thief and Yves Tumor & NINA #musicsky #applemusic

Just in case people were under the impression that playlists can only get traction on Spotify.

🗣Reminder that @flirtfm.ie is off FM broadcast in Galway city until August 25th but 'The Human Recommendation' radio show continues on the web stream on flirtfm.ie at 8pm each Monday! Forget the "samey algorithms" and enjoy some music discovery through humans #TeamHuman

I love listening to Kids Disco on @radiomilwaukee.bsky.social on the weekend. Today’s theme is old school hip hop.

So many great tunes discovered this month with @scrobblerad.io! New music by The Dears, Sudan Archives, Panic Shack and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard #applemusic #musicsky #playlist

When you find a super kind shoutout to ScrobbleRadio in the wild and it makes your night 😌 Thanks for listening @cygnoir.net!

In mentioning all these, I would much more readily watch these performances if I could scrobble them without it being a pain in the ass. Tiny Desk sessions that have track by track timeline markers are wonderful, they just don’t happen all the time.

I swear @last.fm really needs to do an awareness campaign on all the ways music can be scrobbled. So many people seem to be under the impression Apple Music/YouTube Music/TIDAL/Deezer/Amazon Music simply can't be scrobbled, when that is simply false. Spotify isn't the lone platform you can scrobble.

The July ScrobbleRadio Mix is here! HAIM, Nation of Language, Matthew Good, Ethel Cain & loads more! See why it’s got over 150 adds on #AppleMusic!

It warmed my heart today when I was looking at the Matomo analytics for ScrobbleRadio and noticed someone has very clearly installed the app on their local and modified the shit out of the stations for their own purposes. Love to see it, especially since I’ve been tremendously lax in documenting.

Never heard the word before

This Old Music App Is Still Miles Better Than Spotify For Finding New Music. While Spotify might grab the headlines with flashy features, Last.fm is still where true music lovers go to dig deeper and discover more. www.makeuseof.com/last-fm-mile... #Sound #Music #Lastfm

I noticed this oddity the other day. I’m listening to BTPM The Bridge and they play this song. I notice that it’s got almost no scrobbles, but then discover I’ve heard this song before. I assume it’s duplicates I need to sort out, only to discover I heard this song at 11:27am on 2 different days.

New stations added! @skylabradio.com - West Midlands, UK - scrobblerad.io#skylab @pdxradioproject.bsky.social - Portland, OR - scrobblerad.io#prpfm @kbooradio.bsky.social - Portland, OR - scrobblerad.io#kboo

KEXP's Gathering Space at Seattle Center (including Caffe Vita) will be open all night tonight, as DJs John Richards and Morgan and producer Owen stay on the air for a marathon broadcast through 10 a.m. Friday in support of public media.

#KEXP is at joyful activism again: @djjohnrichards.bsky.social and DJ Morgan have decided to stay on the air for 27 straight hours to stand up for #publicmedia. #MusicMatters Head to www.protectmypublicmedia.org and contact your members of Congress to let ‘em know why public media matters to you.

#Scrobbling question: Would you rather a) An incorrect scrobble (malformed, not properly matched, station ID) you need to correct b) no scrobble at all if #lastfm or #MusicBrainz APIs can’t match a result?

Radio is still the #1 consumed medium in the United States. It is the medium which has the greatest reach and has the easiest entry point. It is a medium which doesn't discriminate based on race, income, or gender. The time to fight for it is now.

It's incumbent upon those of us with the resources, reach, donor capacity, audience advocates, to ACT NOW. We owe it to our Public Radio/TV siblings to fight for them.

🧵 Everything you've heard until now is just conjecture. But now that the White House has officially delivered its recission bill to Congress, we now have clarity with regard to funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

Gonna have to rename this playlist to "Oops, too many bangers!". Had 40 songs this month, and I cut it down a bit.

ScrobbleRadio Mix June 2025 - New jams by Pulp, Fiona Apple, Portugal. The Man, Men I Trust and so much more #AppleMusic #MusicRecs #Playlists
