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.

@jbermellon I moved your posts to this topic as it was discussed here already. I've passed this on to the team and will let you know as soon as I know more.

I am using Deezer for about 2-3 months, first trial, now premium. I've been using last.fm for years now, so having the ability to do so with Deezer was a big plus. However, quickly I realized, Deezer made quite a few shortcuts implementing last.fm, seems like they gave the task to a summer intern.

Last.fm scrobbling with Deezer has multiple issues:
  • Not using "now listening" - songs are not actively being repoted as being listened. Instead, they are scrobbled after being listened.
  • Improper scrobbling - The biggest issue here - the track is being scrobbled even if you skip it after a few seconds. Sometimes I like to play something random like Flow and just skip the songs I don't feel like listening, so I listen to every fifth-or-so song. The problem is that all of those skipped songs get scrobbled.
  • Multiple scrobbles - sometimes (for me twice or three times a day) song gets scrobbled 5, 10, 15 times in a row, even though I just listened to it once.
Your implementation of Last.fm is broken. Even open source and freeware solutions have it implemented decently. Please fix the issue and implement it the way it should be.

I'm sorry 😞 Last FM is aware of it, but no news yet!

Wanted to switch to Deezer from other music streaming service but it seems that scrobbling is not working on any of my devices, which is a no go for me, so looking for help.

Hi there. We have already passed this on to our devs and Last FM. Sorry for taking so long!

Hi! I've been using Deezer for a good couple of months now and I think it's pretty good. Recently I've come across a problem in the Last.fm integration, and this also happened with my girlfriend when she was using her account.

Basically, Deezer bugs and scrobbles an individual track multiple times, which in turn makes the stats on last.fm all screwed up. You can see this in the scrobble time - a same song getting scrobbled once a minute.



Why is this happening, and how can we fix it?

Thanks
Marc

OK, I’ve got another problem combining with the same issue from scrobbling. Now I just noticed that "My MP3" tracks do not scrobble. I was using BlackPlayer for android for listening to my offline music but, now I was wanting to combine my online playlist on Deezer with my unique mp3 collection, so I uploaded some of my songs, and when I play them the scrobbling no longer happens... FOR A VERY LONG TIME. So: not only my MP3 (which are fully named and organized) are not generating scrobbles, ALSO playing my mp3 stops the scrobbling of any other song on Deezer for a time that seems to be arbitrary. I hope this helps for coming to a full scrobbling diagnostic that also gets this and other problems (duplicates, no scrobbling-now and no mp3 scrobblings) to an end.
