Scrobble?

Anyway, you want a web radio player maybe?

No, there is no way to have the music player do that currently.

@ImmyChan In addition, the fm (frequency modulation) protocol is being kindly abandoned in most countries in favour of the new DAB+ (digital audio broadcast) standard.
E.g in Switzerland, the fm bands will definitively cease to operate in 2022 .

@stanwood the question has nothing to do with radio broadcasts. It's about support for https://last.fm social network/streaming site.

@dobey Oh Sorry...

Hi,
I'm a LastFM user too and I would like to scrobble music from a native app.
I think it is not possible at the moment, but you can use the web player.
There is a web app I've made some time ago in the openstore:

What the hell means scrobble?

Even the so english google translate doesn't know the word... It thinks it's portuguese.

@Keneda An answer of sorts

Scrobble is when you do something (like listen to a song), and then that something is tracked into a log. It could be private (like how iTunes tracks everything you listen to), or displayed publicly.

Ok so it's basically "link"...
"Is there a way to link what music i listen on my uPhone to last.fm account".
Could work with "share" too.

@Keneda For translations, you have this: https://open-store.io/app/deepltranslator.josele13. Very good translations overall. And of top of that it's google free !
But the word 'Scrobble' isn't translated either... I was wondering the meaning just like you..

@domubpkm and @Keneda
Scrobble is the name of a feature created by "Last FM".

Scrobbling allows last fm users to log their music activity to their account when using compatible players. The feature goes beyong logging and sharing.

Music is being played by the media-hub. It sends Mpris2 compatible signals on dbus. So a small service (for example in python) can pickup the meta data of the played tracks and send it to LastFM.
