I’ve occasionally used the Universal Scrobbler to replace junk ones but (a) it’s extremely tedious and (b) lastfm rejects scrobbles older than 14 days. This is so much better! I can just faff around with stuff while playing long games of Stellaris!
I think my total artist count has gone down by about 50 in the last two days 
Yeah, i’m still deleting duplicate scrobbles from the itunes/ipod days when you had to plug your ipod in and wait for the last.fm to pick up all the scrobbles you’d done throughout the day. The number of duplicate scrobbles I used to get from that around the 2008-2012 time period is mad, still randomly find them. Not to mention the scrobbles that have no album title or album artist on it.
When using the desktop scrobbler back in the iPod days, it would scrobble everything you’d listen to up to 14 days, but if you listened to a track multiple times, it would scrobble that number but wouldn’t have individual timestamps - just the most recent time/ date played.
For example, when Plastic Beach came out, I’d listen to it multiple times for a whole week and then get round to scrobbling my device and to this day I have six scrobbles of Rhinestone Eyes at “8 Mar 2010, 7:13pm” but I know in my heart of hearts that they were not duplicate plays.
I find these with missing album & album artist all the time, never know how they came to be. I was always pretty meticulous with my ID3 tags. So the last.fm scribbler may be to blame?
For me, it was mostly because I was playing music that may or may not have been downloaded illegally and tags on those songs tend to be the wild west. That and I had no idea what ID3 tags were back then 
Suppose it could have been that for me too, early on, but I know I’ve come across these for tracks/albumse I owned on CD & ripped. Who knows. Just glad we have a way to address these things.
Does anyone else have access to Labs? I’m not sure how often I would ever look at any of it but I’m shocked that something new got added to my last.fm
Been thinking of doing something like this for ages, but I’ve been playing around with the API and have created an aggregator that reads in what we’ve been listening to and spits out a daily chart.

If this of any interest to anyone or a complete waste of time?
Anyway, it’s comprised of all the accounts on this thread so if you’ve added your name then you’re in (https://www.last.fm/user/culturedeluxe/following)
Let me know if you want to be removed or if there are any others out there who would like to be added in.
I love this level of geekery! great stuff.
I know, I’m awful for it. At least it’ll be fun to see what everyone else is listening to
I had a similar idea when endlessly posting my weekly album post. But as I am with many things. Great with ideas, poor with execution.
Good work!

So, for full disclosure and just to show how geeky I’m willing to go - the way it works is it reads what you’ve listened to for the past 7 days and multiplies the plays by a coefficient of 1 for yesterday / 0.86 for 2 days ago / 0.72 for 3 days ago etc. meaning the potency of the play decreases daily.
I may overload the server if there are too many contributors and find another way, but this gives pretty good results.
Another option is to just go weekly - I’ll see what works out
Nice job @richie
I’ve followed you & am happy to be added https://www.last.fm/user/suga-cut
Ace, I’ve added you in now 
This is God tier geekery, love it.
Followed you, feel free to add
Ok, a wee update. I’ve decided to just make it a weekly thing as I’ll never keep it up daily, and it’s bound to fluctuate too much, so once a week on Sunday it’ll update to show our new combined top 100. Here’s how last week’s looked based on the 21 people contributing.
Same principle applies - the previous week’s plays are all fully scoring, the previous week is 0.8, then 0.6, 0.4, 0.2 and then it drops off.
So, the new Lorde album, Addison Rae’s popularity and the Stereolab listening club are mostly accounting right now.
Full chart here with loads more Pulp, Stereolab, Turnstile and the remnants of the big Brian Wilson mourning session

Fucking hell
