FAQ

How does it work?

ShazamScrobbler works together with the Shazam Mac App. Every songs identified by the Shazam app are stored somewhere on your Mac. ShazamScrobbler is able to detect and read the new entries, in order to scrobble those to Last.fm.

I opened the app and got an error message.

Make sure you've got the latest Shazam app and that it has identified at least one song.

How do you actually make sure that a scrobble has been played more than 30 seconds? GitHub issue #16.

We don't. We have to make assumptions as the Shazam app doesn't tell for how long a track have been played. However, when Shazam tags more than one song within 30 seconds, it means than the first song wasn't played long enough and only the next song will be scrobbled.

If already scrobbling, will my songs be scrobbled twice?
