Scrobble Last.fm from Deezer not working

• certain tracks not scrobbling at all or way too late (from a couple hours to more than 24 hours later) and then being scrobbled disorderly in the timeline
• problems with the ampersand (&) symbol in artist, song and album names (i.e. the same being omitted most of the time - "Boy & Bear" becoming "Boy Bear")
• certain tracks scrobbling up to 40 times when only listened once

Would be great to find a solution to this, as it is definitely not an isolated issue and seems to affect many users.

These are exactly the problems I am facing. I last used deezer at the beginning of the week and swiched to a browser extension so I can listen through bandcamp and scrobble something until these problems get fixed.

Anyways, some tracks started appearing in my last.fm profile today, but somehow I get the feeling that not all tracks are submitted in the right order. Hopefully this will happen in some kind of way :)

Even if this isn't related to the topic at all, what is it about the mp3 upload section?
Do I must own the rights of mp3 tracks or can I upload them even though I am not the owner / band of those files, because I have seen that there are some releases by a few bands that are missing and I don't want to get copyright problems.

The new web player layout of Deezer does not work with the browser extension anymore, see this thread:

https://github.com/web-scrobbler/web-scrobbler/issues/1756

Furthermore the new player does not have Last.fm as an option in its settings anymore, only Facebook, Twitter and Google+, so it might have been disabled altogether, see my related posting on Get Satisfaction:

By the way, the URL embedding tool on this forum is broken, it cannot understand long URLs like the one above.

@TheBazzTian: Uploaded MP3 files can be ripped tracks from official CDs as well, but there also is a 2k tracks limit for them.

I can confirm that some tracks have started appearing today. Hopefully, this is solved soon. I am also going though my phone, laptop and bandcamp libraries, while waiting for a fix.

As to the MP3s, you can upload them directly from your computer. Go to My Music --> Click the dropdown menu under your username (starts with Highlights, ends with More...) --> Choose My Mp3s

Hope this helps.

An additional piece of info reported over at Last.fm forums regarding the same issue: scrobbling works from the Deezer web player, but ONLY when using the old skin, and with with the addition of the Web Scrobbler extension (for FF and Chromium-like browsers).

If using this, perhaps it's best to unlink your Last.fm account from Deezer. At least I've done so.

I have tried this both with Firefox and Chrome, using Deezer with the previous Flash player, but with no success - WebScrobbler is still not identifying the tracks. However, WebScrobbler has now implemented support for Deezer HTML5 and it should be included in the next release. That could come tomorrow, or in months from now, I have no idea about that.

I find this very frustrating too. Last.fm API has been the same for years and it should not be too complicated for Deezer to maintain its support. For me it's a key point to keep paying to Deezer.

Just to confirm what V_Shaft wrote: couple of weeks ago I noticed that scrobbling works only when the old skin is used. So, if you unlink the Last.fm account in Deezer settings and just use the scrobbling extension, then every song you listen to in your browser should be scrobbled to Last.fm

But in case you are a premium user and use Deezer on the smartphone as well - then we are back to the square one (I use iPhone and have not found a scrobbler that works for songs played in Deezer on iOS; and if I unlink the Last.fm account from my Deezer account - that means no scrobbling for me).

Aha, got it: Flash vs. HTML5 player and old vs. new skin are two different things. Now I managed to deactivate the new skin and WebScrobbler indeed works again.

And yes, I too am using Deezer on multiple platforms so finding a patchy solution for one medium does not solve it all.

Me as well. I use Deezer in Mac (as an app) and Android smartphone and scrobbling isn't working nowhere. Totally sucks.

My account is connected to Last.fm. It use to work well when I listened thought the web app (deezer.com). It's is not working in the new mac app (https://www.deezer.com/br/download?utm_source=web_link)

It might be possible that the official Last.fm Android app is still able to scrobble Deezer, but you have to enable that option in its settings. Unfortunately this does not work with the official iOS app from Last.fm, as far as I know.
