foo_scrobble is a foobar2000 component for scrobbling to https://www.last.fm/.
- Uses the Scrobbling 2.0 API. You authorize the component with last.fm instead of entering your login credentials into foobar2000.
- Supports "Now Playing" notifications.
- Handles intermittent network outages or reconnects well. No "waiting for handshake" issue.
- Manages the scrobble cache automatically. There is no need to manually submit the cache.
- Allows custom tags for scrobbled details.
To get started, open foobar2000's preferences, navigate to Tools > Last.fm Scrobbling and use the top button to authorize your client. The button has a helpful tooltip with detailed instructions.
You may have to install Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015-2022. Windows 7 also requires Update for Windows 7 (KB2999226) which usually is already installed via Windows Update.
Requires Visual Studio 2022 (17.3.0) with:
- Workloads:
- Desktop development with C++
- .NET desktop development
- .NET Core cross-platform development
- Components:
- MSVC v143 - VS 2022 C++ x64/x86 build tools (v14.33-17.3)
The .NET workloads are not required for the foo_scrobble library, but are used
by the included test server project and the build.proj script assumes those
are present.
External dependencies are consumed using the foo_scrobble-deps NuGet package.
Before opening the solution or building from the command-line, run the
eng\Build-Dependencies.ps1 script to build and install the package to the
solution. The foobar2000 SDK is already contained in the repository.
To build a release version run the following from a Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt:
msbuild -m build.proj
This creates the foo_scrobble-<VERSION>.fb2k-component and a foo_scrobble-<VERSION>.zip archive (containing both DLL and symbols) in the build\publish directory.
