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.

Yesterday the internal Deezer scrobbling option was lagging for a few hours, so no new scrobbles were shown on your Last.fm profile. It took a while to submit the queued scrobbles then, but today scrobbling is working normally again.

Hi, 

I tried scrobbling and it says that my account is linked but I nothing is appearing on last fm. It says I have no songs. Did I miss a step? How can I scrobble?

What is your Last.fm username? Is the Last.fm logo in the Deezer Sharing Preferences in red or in grey? Are you a Deezer Family member perhaps?

My username is jilenendiaye . The logo is red, I am not a Deezer family member.

I see that you are scrobbling now, do you use Deezer for that?

I was scrobbling from Deezer all day, so at least there is no general problem with the internal scrobbling option in Deezer.

This thread was linked on last.fm’s website to report issues with Desktop App scrobbling. I just started my trial of Deezer Premium today. I connected Deezer to my last.fm account through the web player like instructions said. Played several songs, none of them showed up on my last.fm profile. I disconnected and reconnected, still happening.


Being able to scrobble the music I play on both desktop and mobile is an absolute must-have for me as is using a native desktop app and not being stuck with a web player (I’ve confirmed scrobbling DOES work from there).  I’m interested in leaving spotify for Deezer, so...I need to know how to make scrobbling on desktop work.

Can anyone help? I’m on Windows 11, using Deezer 6.0.80.

It won’t let me edit my comment for some reason, so I’m just going to quote it.
I reached out to Deezer Support. They asked me to check several settings (make sure Windows is up-to-date, Antivirus not blocking Deezer, energy saving option disabled, and that it’s installed in the default location), then to try uninstalling and reinstalling.
The next steps after uninstalling included giving them some info about my drivers and windows version - so I updated all of my video and sound drivers, uninstalled deezer, restarted my PC, and reinstalled deezer, and now it’s working!
Not sure why the clean install wasn’t working from the jump but I’m just glad this got sorted. Hopefully if someone else is having the same problem they’ll see this and it’ll help. Hopefully.

For the past few days, scrobbling has a 24/36 hours delay before the tracks I listened to appear on Last.fm. Is anyone experiencing the same issue?

Yes, a known issue with Deezer’s internal scrobbling option, see e.g. this thread on the Last.fm support forum:

https://support.last.fm/t/no-scrobbeling-after-hours-using-deezer/106942/39

There is a workaround with external scrobbling apps, but you will get duplicate scrobbles with wrong timestamps then, so you should disable the internal Deezer scrobbling until it works properly again.
