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 songs I listen to don't appear on last.fm for a few days now. I read on the support forum from Last.fm it has to do with your Last.fm-app. Is there any news about that? If I can't scrobble my songs, I'm affaid I have to leave Deezer.

I will just add to the list of known issues:

  • 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
  • tracks uploaded under "My Mp3s" on Deezer (i.e. tracks not available on Deezer and uploaded by the user) not scrobbling at all
Would be great to find a solution to this, as it is definitely not an isolated issue and seems to affect many users.

Same problem. Tried in web player, disconnected/connected, then installed various Chrome extensions, and tried with Deezer desktop app. No scrobbling.
Yep, I tried an extension too and it didn't work.

And now, two days later after trying it out, just ONE scrobbled track appeared.

Here too!

I double checked and Last.fm is linked. Looks like scrobbling works well when I use the iOS beta app but not from my browser. 😕

It really irks me how Deezer staff always seems to treat this issue like an isolated problem, when obviously it is not.

I've been using Last.fm since 2009, actively scrobbling all this time. I'm not a fiend for accuracy, I'm fine if my scrobbles appear a few hours later. But I do want to continue building my library: it's serves me as a historical reference point to my listening habits, as well as a quick reminder if I wanna find something that I've listened recently.

The current state of the Deezer's Last.fm scrobbler makes this impossible and is unacceptable. Please, approach this issue with severity it deserves. Millions of people are using Last.fm's services, and having them constantly malfunctioning with Deezer is not a light issue.

Web version, Win Store version, Desktop app (these on 2 different PCs), mobile... my scrobbles appear with a huge delay, if at all. Will they appear sometimes in the future, are they lost forever? I have been willing to put up with Deezer's various bugs and quirks and whatnot, but these add over time. I like it, despite it all. But I'm now at the point of looking to switch platforms...
Rafael.

Hi Guys, I'm sorry about that! Deezer is aware if this issue and we are passing this on to our devs and they will be in touch with Last FM to know what is happening. I will keep you guys updated as soon as I have any more news about it!

Until this gets resolved, just wanted to share a manual way to keep your Last.fm library updated: Universal Scrobbler

http://universalscrobbler.com/

I've been using the tool for years now, and it has never failed me. Used it all the time when I was listening through a dedicated player. Basically, it allows users to scrobble tracks/albums on demand by pulling the info from databases such as MusicBrainz or Discogs. You can also scrobble manually (single on in bulk).

It's not an ideal solution, but still better than nothing.
