Multi-Scrobbler

Overview

Multi-Scrobbler is a powerful and versatile JavaScript application designed to aggregate and synchronize your music listening data across a multitude of sources and destinations. It acts as a central hub, pulling 'now playing' information from various music services, media players, and streaming platforms, then pushing that data to your preferred scrobbling clients like Last.fm, ListenBrainz, Maloja, and Koito. This ensures that no matter where you listen to music, your listening history is accurately recorded and updated.

The tool boasts an impressive list of supported sources, ranging from popular streaming services like Spotify, Deezer, and YouTube Music, to self-hosted media servers such as Plex, Jellyfin, and Kodi, and even specific music players like MPD and VLC. Its primary value proposition lies in its ability to unify disparate listening experiences under one comprehensive tracking system. Users can self-host Multi-Scrobbler, typically via Docker, giving them complete control over their data and a highly customizable setup. It also includes webhook support for notifications, allowing users to monitor the status of their scrobbling activities.
