Last.fm scrobbling

[YodaEmbedding]

The official Spotify clients and spotifyd will scrobble currently playing tracks appropriately using the official last.fm / Spotify service. Possibly, implementing the "Connect" feature tracked in #33 will automatically implement this feature as a side-effect, as this suggests:

...Spotify changed the way their Last.fm integration works. Scrobbling now happens on Spotify's servers, rather than the client, so all Connect devices can now scrobble.

Workarounds: using a local MPRIS based scrobbler, such as scrobblez. EDIT: blocked by #368

I don't believe you get any scrobbling by implementing Spotify Connect. I don't think you get it by implementing the reporting/event-service stuff either (see librespot-org/librespot#913, librespot-org/librespot#626), I thought each client-side scrobbled directly, but I might be wrong about that.

Edit: Scrap that, I just saw your link, it must be server-side... So maybe it is the reporting/event stuff. I don't think it's part of Connect because librespot provides Connect and nothing gets scrobbled when using that.

Such scrobblers do not work on MacOS. So implementing one to psst would be a good idea.

We are happy to accept PR's! And I'd be more than happy to collab if someone gets one started :)

I thought that Spotify is natively integrated with last.fm when user provides credentials.

is there any 3rd party solution to workaround this?

There's https://github.com/Ladbaby/lastfm-scrobbler but requires the media player to have MPRIS support, does Psst have that?
