Are there any plans to address the known last.fm scrobbling issues?

Such as omitting & in song, album, and artist’s names.

I specifically joined because scrobbling was available, but editing every single King Gizzard, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Iron & Wine, Peaches & Herb, Mama’s & Papa’s song would be SUPER DISAPPOINTING.

Hi ​@dai77 Last.fm sometimes omits the (&) symbol when scrobbling track, album, or artist names. This can lead to discrepancies in the displayed information on Last.fm. It's a known issue that affects certain track names.
Have you contacted Last.fm support?
Thanks and apologies for the inconvenience

I have no problems with scrobbling from Spotify, which I am leaving to join Deezer. Lastfm forums as far back as '09 state Deezer internal doesn't scrobble "&" correctly. And what I'm speaking of isn't sometimes. It's 100% of any title, album, or artist name with & omits that character. It would be nice to get this fixed

Such a disappointment. You tell me it's a known issue, after I already state it's a known issue. You ask me to address it, when I'm literally asking you if you are addressing it
