What Scrobbling.live does

Scrobbling.live is a browser-based tool that listens through your microphone, identifies music playing nearby, and scrobbles it to your Last.fm profile. It is designed for people listening to vinyl records, cassette tapes, CDs, and other physical formats.

Microphone access and audio data

Scrobbling.live captures short audio clips from your microphone solely for music identification. These clips are sent to ACRCloud — a third-party music recognition service — and are not stored by Scrobbling.live. Audio is processed in memory and discarded immediately after a recognition attempt. Scrobbling.live does not record, store, or transmit your audio for any purpose other than identifying the currently playing track.

Microphone access is only active while you have scrobbling enabled. You can revoke it at any time through your browser settings.

Last.fm authentication

Scrobbling.live authenticates with Last.fm using their official OAuth flow. Your Last.fm password is never seen or stored by Scrobbling.live. A session key is stored in a secure, HTTP-only cookie in your browser so you stay signed in between visits. This key can only be used to scrobble tracks to your Last.fm account — it cannot read your password or access payment information.

You can revoke Scrobbling.live's access at any time from your Last.fm application settings.

Data we store

Scrobbling.live does not maintain a database of users. The only data stored is your Last.fm session key and username, held in browser cookies on your device. No analytics, tracking scripts, or advertising networks are used.
