Scrobble Last.fm from Deezer not working


Userlevel 3
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.

Even if it is already possible with Pano and Web Scrobbler, you can’t edit all the tracks from an album at once. For example, 

 

Why this (Acoustic) after every song title???

Today Last.fm released the new feature of saving edited scrobbles for later playback for Last.fm Pro users:

https://support.last.fm/t/save-edited-scrobbles/638

Save edited scrobbles in bulk for artists, albums and tracks

This will help Deezer users who have connected to Last.fm in their Sharing Preferences to correct their scrobbles from known issues like missing ampersands. The overview of edited scrobbles shows the original scrobble, and you can see your edits when clicking on the Edit icon there. It is sorted alphabetically per track and artist name. The external bulk scrobble edit script by Rudey should also work with the new feature without needing an update, as you can see in the screenshot, so you can now bulk edit artist, album and track names at once and only once. :wink:

I'm also having issues with Last.fm scrobbling. I have enabled it (the logo is red), but the songs only get scrobbled when I use the web player. I use the desktop player (on macOS) and the iOS app. Both are up to date. I did wait long enough for the songs to end and I also tried reconnecting. Is there anything else I could try?

This feature really is a deciding factor for me whether I will continue using Deezer or not.

Do you use the Web Scrobbler browser extension perhaps, so that is why your Deezer listening is scrobbled in the web player? I haven’t heard of current problems with macOS/iOS yet, it works for me on Windows.

No, I don't have the browser extension installed.

I would like to add that I just tried using the desktop app on Windows and this works. However, this is my least used device.

Another update: since today scrobbling has been working fine across all my devices. I have no idea why, I didn't change anything.

I’m having no luck getting the desktop app to scrobble.

Mine currently works, so it seems there is no general problem. Did you read the official Deezer Scrobbling FAQ on the Last.fm support forum?

Scrobbling to Last.fm isn’t working as of 14hrs ago. I only manage to scrobble from Openscrobbler or similar sites. 

Is this something temporary and will my listening history be recovered? I am mostly scrobbling from my iPhone and directly from the browser, neither seem to work now (but they used to until yesterday).

Yes, currently it is broken. See my reply in this Last.fm support forum thread.

Thanks, most of it seems to be back now.

Last.fm today released a new payment method for Pro subscriptions besides PayPal which enables worldwide payment in most countries which block PayPal. This might also be interesting for Deezer users wanting to benefit from Pro features like editing their scrobbles with missing ampersands etc., but couldn't yet due to living in an unsupported country like Turkey or Ukraine.

Mobile users who do not own a desktop computer can access the necessary Sharing Preferences to connect their Deezer and Last.fm accounts in the mobile browser using its desktop mode:

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

Then it should look similar to this page in the web player:

You may have to hold your mobile phone horizontally and swipe to the right side to see the LINK button for Last.fm. If you tap it, the Last.fm authorisation page will open in the browser where you have to confirm access for Deezer.

there is no last fm option in sharing preferences, deezer doesnt connect to last anymore or what is going on?

Are you a family member, but not the account owner? Unfortunately those cannot see the Last.fm option in the Sharing Preferences and have to use external scrobbling apps like the Web Scrobbler browser extension.

Not true, as a family member account you actually can use the internal Scrobble option.
If I remember correctly; you first have to set up your personal Deezer-account and fix the Last.fm option in the Sharing Preferences. After that you join with that exact account as family member and the Sharing Preferences or Last.fm option will disappear, but scrobbling feature will still work anyway.😀 (https://www.last.fm/user/KingBarendrecht)
Yes i did this in feb 2021 and scrobbling still works.

That’s interesting, thanks for reporting. 👍 I have only read from family members and seen screenshots that they cannot enable scrobbling in the Sharing Preferences, but if it still works and only is not visible anymore after joining a family with their separate Free account, I will mention that in the Deezer Scrobbling FAQ of course.

May be should be tested, before put in the FAQ.

But if i remember correctly these were the steps to accomplish this.

Deezer's internal scrobbling has not been working for more than 7 hours.

However, Deezer's listening history is up to date and Last.fm works so I don't know why it doesn't scrobble anything.

What's going on? This is the second time this month that Deezer has stopped scrobbling.

There was a lagging problem with the internal Deezer scrobbling option yesterday, it took several hours to submit and update the scrobbles on your Last.fm profile. It should have fixed itself by now.

Track scrobbles are frequently missed for me. It worked flawlessly over the last couple of years; this problem appeared over the last week.

E.g. First three tracks are scrobbled, then the next two aren't. If I replay the missed track for ten seconds and hit "next", it scrobbles.

 

Edit: Seems like the listening history on Deezer isn't complete, although one of the missing songs still appeared in my last.fm scrobbles. 

Hi,

I tried uploading own MP3 to deezer for the first time today.

It is a known issue with the internal scrobbling option, please see the Deezer Scrobbling FAQ on the Last.fm support forum which also describes a workaround by using the Deezer web player and the Web Scrobbler browser extension or external Android scrobblers instead.
