Why is that good?

On my end? Because I've logged 162,000 tracks since 2004/01/14, and would like to keep building this database for as long as possible. Edit: Approximately 11,000 hours worth of listening time has been kept track of for me thanks to last.fm. About 12% of my life-hours since 2004/01/14 are accounted for in my last.fm data.

  Please consider backing up your data. http://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/3080/how-can-i-export-track-scrobble-data-from-last-fm http://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/3080/how-can-i-ex... Also, my project GNU FM (running at Libre.fm, amongst others) can give you a local or private scrobble server that can also talk to Last.fm for you. Indeed, we have federated Last.fm as part of the GNU FM network of federated scrobblers.

    The link to GNU FM at the bottom of libre.fm leads to a 404: http://foocorp.org/projects/fm/ http://foocorp.org/projects/fm/

      Damn. We're moving stuff around between our boxes at the Internet Archive and our boxes in the UK. I'll get that fixed.

Indeed, we have federated Last.fm as part of the GNU FM network of federated scrobblers. Is there a way to automatically publish stats from mpd to GnuFM? If so, I'd love to use this - I mostly listen to music via mpd (ncmpcpp).

      Absolutely. http://bugs.foocorp.net/projects/librefm/wiki/Clientsmpd http://bugs.foocorp.net/projects/librefm/wiki/Clientsmpd has some instructions. Let me know if they don't work for you and I'll see if I can figure out the next steps.

  Fully agree. I'll repost what I said in a previous last.fm discussion. > I treasure my last.fm stats so much. It has documented 9 years of my life in a way that no other site or social network could express.

Scrobbling was the original focus of last.fm (when it was actually called AudioScrobbler). You would listen to your own music and it would run in the background keeping track of what you played, such that you could see your stats and discover other similar music.

  AudioScrobbler and Last.FM were originally separate concerns that came together. (I wrote the first Windows Media Player AudioScrobbler plugin back in '02 or '03 but lost interest. One of my poorer decisions!)
