Please properly implement the Last.fm Scrobbling API! Here: https://www.last.fm/api/scrobbling

For start, tracks should be scrobbled only if they've been played for 50% of their duration or for 4 minutes, whichever sooner. Currently, Deezer scrobbles them regardless (and only after the next song has started).

Second, please also make Deezer send the "Now Playing" notification immediately when the track starts.

Implementation of any other aspects of the API are appreciated as well. Thanks!

It's a shame that it will never happen.

@Rudi @Rafael. , Hi, any idea on the timeline of this implementation?

What exactly is the question? This thread had so many updates and merging that I don’t understand what the recent questions refer to. Deezer scrobbling works (most of the time), see the related Last.fm FAQ on their support forum.

I agree that the songs should scrobble after they've been played for 50% of their duration. I just joined Deezer and that's the only flaw that stood out to me so far

I gave up on scrobbling with Deezer because of all the flaws:

It doesn’t scrobble the “My mp3” playlist;
It doesn’t scrobble podcasts like NPR Tiny Desk;
It ignores tag information between round brackets (this might be some kind of configuration that I set somewhere and I don’t remember. Anyway);
It doesn’t scrobble anything that has & or + in the title, etc.

I’m using Pano Scrobble for Android and Web Scrobbler for Chrome and it’s way better.

Even using external scrobblers the wrong tags have been such a pain.

Please remove those unnecessary album tags like (Deluxe Galaxy Wide Edition Standard Album Version).

Not to mention miswritten messes like Seasick Steve’s “Man From Another Time ( Only 2)”.

Isn’t there anyone on Deezer hired to mind those tags? Last.fm users like me care too much about these dumb letters. You seriously need a tag upkeeper.

When the scrobbling will be fixed? I have been using the service for at least a year and last.fm scrobbling it's not working properly.

Did you try any other scrobbers? There’s one from Last.fm to your phone and Chrome browser.

Disable then Deezer’s one to scrobble correctly.

“Isn’t there anyone on Deezer hired to mind those tags? Last.fm users like me care too much about these dumb letters. You seriously need a tag upkeeper.”

I think they can not edit tags, they need to send them to a label for a fix.

It’s like 90’s but it’s how it is. I’ve seen that many other apps to stream show meta data differently.

Especially (Original Mix) gets removed and (Radio Edit) corrected to - Radio Edit

I think it’s something Deezer could do as well.
