Scrobbling on iOS is a little bit trickier. Everything in Radio, including Beats 1 will not scrobble.īasically, only music in My Music and Playlists will scrobble, with the one exception of saved playlists.If you search for a song, album, or artist and play from the search results it will not scrobble.If you play a song, or album that you previously added to My Music from the detail view it will not scrobble.If you play a playlist directly from the For You section it will not scrobble.If you play from the detail view of a playlist that you previously added to My Music it scrobbles.If you play a song, album, or playlist directly in the For You section it will not scrobble.Let's take a look at the For You and New sections. The same is true for playlists, scrobbling works for you local playlists, as well as Apple Music Playlists. It does not matter if the song is stored locally, streamed from iTunes Match, streamed from Apple Music, or a song from Apple Music that was made available offline. For the serious music fan with a taste for cutting-edge technology, there's no reason not to scrobble to both Last.fm and Facebook.Tell application "iTunes" tell current track to artist & " - " & nameįirst of all, scrobbling works for everything that is in My Music (that is, your library).
Besides, scrobbling to Last.fm lets you enjoy all sorts of hacks and apps that run on your Last.fm profile. If sharing your music habits with Facebook freaks you out, perhaps you'd rather share them to Last.fm, to keep your musical identity separate from your Facebook identity. It continues to scrobble not only from iTunes, but from cloud-based music services.
In fact, "scrobbling" to Facebook is so easy that when Facebook added the feature, we called Last.fm the biggest loser in that equation.
In that one simple step, you'll start sending your listening history to Facebook, so your friends can see what you've been listening to (unless you turn off Facebook sharing). All you have to do to send your playback history to your Facebook Timeline is use your Facebook identity to log into a music service. Now, Facebook does pretty much the same thing (except for with iTunes).
