Scrobble Last.fm from Deezer not working

Hi @Lucelia.Mascarenhas,

It is possible to link your Deezer account to your Scrobble Last FM account from a computer/laptop using this link:

https://www.deezer.com/account/share

You should see the Scrobble as the option on the right.

    As far as I remember, Deezer’s internal scrobbling option wasn’t working correctly around that time and was simply lagging several hours with submitting the scrobbles to your Last.fm account, so probably it was coincidence that it started working for you again after reinstalling. This lagging occurs from time to time, and the only thing you can do in this case is wait.

    The new MS Edge Chromium is downloadable now. You can install the Web Scrobbler browser extension from the Chrome Web Store (and other Chrome extensions like Stylus, uBlock etc.), see the linked posting on Get Satisfaction for the download links, more details and a screenshot with the Deezer web player scrobbling in Edge to your Last.fm profile.

     

    So all Microsoft users who cannot use other browsers or install the Deezer desktop app due to limitations at their workplace or school can scrobble with Edge now. Like mentioned before, this method also has additional advantages over the internal Deezer scrobbling option like enabling editing scrobbles during the first 50% of the current track and saving these edits for future scrobbling of the same track. It correctly submits artists, albums and track names with the ampersand symbol and provides the real-time “Scrobbling now” indication in your Last.fm Recent Tracks list. Last but not least it might still work when the internal scrobbling option does not for unknown reasons. Because of that you have to disable it to avoid duplicate scrobbles when both methods work again.

    Its biggest disadvantage - no HiFi streaming - has been fixed a few weeks ago, as the Deezer web player supports FLAC streaming now like the mobile apps.

      When I hear Florence + The Machine’s Lungs (Deluxe Version), which can be found at “https://www.deezer.com/album/968243?utm_source=deezer&utm_content=album-968243&utm_term=392133707_1579291392&utm_medium=web”, Deezer doesn’t scrobbles its tracks to Last.fm.

       

      Other albums I hear go to the Last.fm list of scrobbles.

       

      What is happening that some artists/albums scrobble and some do not?

      Hi there @joaopaulo1511 

      Thanks for reaching out to us. Please look at @bluezzbastardzz mention above, perhaps it can scrobble a bit better that way.

      About what you've asked, I believe is to do with the characters in the artist name.

        @joaopaulo1511: Known issue with the internal Deezer scrobbling, + symbols even prevent submitting a scrobble to Last.fm at all, & symbols only get left out in the scrobble. Use the Web Scrobbler browser extension with any browser (except Safari) if you want to prevent that and scrobble with the Deezer web player.

        Or use a manual scrobbler like Last.fm Scrubbler, Universal Scrubbler or Open Scrobbler to add the missing scrobbles afterwards. As a Last.fm Pro user, you can also edit your past scrobbles in your library to fix the missing ampersand symbol in artist, album and track names.

          You have to connect your Deezer account with your Last.fm account in the web player, see the screenshot on page 12 of this thread.

            @Private Person

            : There is no extra option for connecting Last.fm and Deezer in the iOS app or any other apps except for their web player in the Alerts & Sharing tab. This works via both APIs like Last.fm and Spotify, so it will scrobble with all Deezer devices and apps.

                Thanks for confirming that it works after disabling your adblocker. By the way, another reason why someone may not see this part of the Alerts & Sharing tab is being only a family member, but not the main account.

                Concerning Android scrobbler apps, you shouldn’t need them for Deezer, as explained in the related Last.fm FAQ and also in this thread. But if you want to scrobble other streaming sites or Android music players, a good choice should be Pano Scrobbler, Simple Scrobbler or Scroball. I think they all should still work with Android 8. The official Last.fm Android app also works for many music players and some streaming sites including Deezer.

                Also note that if you enable Deezer scrobbling both in the Deezer web player and in any Android scrobbler, you will get duplicate scrobbles, so it is better to disable one of these methods.

                  The web player has been updated in terms of the available account settings which also includes the Last.fm connection. Now it can be found under the “More” tab and then “Sharing preferences”, see this new screenshot:

                  Your account settings also have two new tabs: “Notification preferences” where you can choose between several options for notifications including followed artists, and “My apps” where you can manage your connected external apps. That is why the former “Alerts & sharing” tab has been split in two parts and moved. Also note that the available settings in the desktop app look different and lack some of the options.
