Last.fm Scrobbler

What is Last.fm Scrobbler?

Last.fm Scrobbler is a native Mac music companion app for sending your listening activity to your Last.fm profile. It is designed for listeners who want an automatic record of what they play, along with the listening history and music statistics that come from scrobbling. On Mac, the desktop app is used to update your profile with music played in iTunes and supports manually scanning and submitting scrobbles for Apple Music workflows. It also lets users browse listening history and view artist, track, tag, and related music information tied to their Last.fm account. The app fits into a music discovery workflow rather than replacing a media player, and it is mainly useful for people who actively use Last.fm to log, review, and share what they listen to.

Key features

• Automatically send played tracks to your Last.fm profile
• Scan and submit scrobbles manually for Apple Music workflows
• View your listening history from your Last.fm account
• See artist, track, tag, and similar artist information
• Keep your music stats updated as you listen on your Mac

Safety overview

Status: Mostly safe

This is legitimate music tracking software from Last.fm, and its background activity is consistent with its purpose because it watches supported playback sources and submits listening data to your account. The main privacy consideration is that your listening history is sent to Last.fm, which may matter if you prefer to keep your media habits private. If you no longer use Last.fm or do not want your listening activity synced, sign out or remove the app.

Recommendation: Keep it if you use Last.fm to track your listening history or maintain music statistics across devices. If you no longer scrobble music, you can remove it without affecting macOS itself, though your Mac will stop sending playback data to Last.fm.
