Is anyone else worried about their listening data? I've got music play tracking in there back to 2006. Does anyone else do what they do with tracking, and does tracking alone give last.fm a viable business model?
- bti 14y agoI would be interested to know too. It would be nice if there was an open way to track listening data, but I assume it would depend on whatever APIs the music player would allow?
- rm999 14y agoI've been worried about the same thing. A few months ago I scraped all my scrobble data from last.fm with a python script I found online: http://encukou.github.com/lastscrape-gui/ http://encukou.github.com/lastscrape-gui/ You can even move all your data to libre.fm. I didn't do this because a few of my music programs (ahem spotify) only support last.fm.

- dan1234 14y agoLibre.fm[0] have a compatible api for scrobbling but it doesn't seem to have had very much activity as a project and you'll have to add an entry to your hosts file (or otherwise alter your DNS) so that applications such as spotify talk to their servers instead of last.fm's. http://libre.fm/ http://libre.fm/
