John Titor Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 The last time I checked, scrobbling via last.fm scrobbler apps (simple/official) works without having to enable either of these settings. The scrobbler apps just need notification access. So what does these toggles do exactly? Does enabling them send some kind of broadcast to these apps? Or something else?

andrewilley Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 They did send song data via the scrobbler app's API, but I think their API feature stopped functioning a while ago so I'm not sure if they do much now. Max will be able to tell us. Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Titor Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 TBH I would rather have a direct last.fm scrobbling feature. As in entering last.fm credentials in Poweramp and Poweramp sending track info to last.fm via API. It's how Freezer app does 🙄. Current toggles are not so much useful, they don't affect scrobbling so far I have observed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmp Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Recent Androids have enough APIs for music info and everything usually works out of the box, but older ones (Androids 5-7, which are still supported by Poweramp) may need those options to be activated for the scrobbling support.

FabioGnecco Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 One of my phones (a Samsung J2 Core with Android Go 8.0) doesn't enable Notification Access, therefore i cannot use a scroblble app. There's any way to work around this ? Or something like a native scrobbler inside PA ? Thanks ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too, have an old Android go device too and as notification listener module is missing, I can't enable give notification access to third party apps. I tried giving bind notification listener service permission via ADB but it didn't work So probably there's no way around this except using native scrobbling features. I would support a last.fm integration inside Poweramp. And looks like last.fm already has an official API for scrobbling https://www.last.fm/api/scrobbling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmp Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 @John Titor yes, with small apps like ScrobbleDroid and similar. Some of them even may use Poweramp API which always works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Titor Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 Oh I looked scrobble droid up, looks like it's unmaintained and not compatible with newer Android versions not even Android O! And scrobbling doesn't work with Poweramp. I assume it doesn't use Poweramp api, yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
