Scrobbling, a term used primarily on platforms like <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.last.fm\">Last.fm<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.libre.fm\">Libre.fm<\/a>, involves logging the songs you play in real-time. This allows users to create a record of their listening habits and offers insights into their favorite tracks and artists.<\/p>\n<p><em>Turntable<\/em> emerges as a universal scrobbling tool that can work with any audio application leveraging MPRIS (Media Player Remote Interface Specification) on Linux. While several popular Linux music players including <em>Rhythmbox<\/em>, <em>Clementine<\/em>, <em>Musikcube<\/em>, and <em>Tauon<\/em> support Last.fm scrobbling directly, <em>Turntable<\/em> offers additional flexibility.<\/p>\n<p>For those whose preferred audio applications lack scrobbling features or for users who frequently switch between different players, <em>Turntable<\/em> serves as a perfect middleman, allowing tracks played through any MPRIS-compatible application to be scrobbled to various services effortlessly. This means you can even log plays from platforms like YouTube without needing to rely on web browser add-ons.<\/p>\n<h3>Noteworthy Features of Turntable:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Scrobbling support for Last.fm, ListenBrainz, and Libre.fm, simultaneously.<\/li>\n<li>MusicBrainz integration for correcting track titles and artist names.<\/li>\n<li>Scrobbles tracks after 50% playtime or after 4 minutes, aligning with Last.fm standards.<\/li>\n<li>Customizable desktop &quot;now playing&quot; controller.<\/li>\n<li>CLI option available for those preferring not to use a GUI.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Developed by Evangelos \u201cGeopJr\u201d Paterakis, <em>Turntable<\/em> also acts as a stylish desktop music controller, reminiscent of older applications like <em>CoverGloobus<\/em> or media mini-players found on Spotify and macOS. Users can customize its appearance, displaying components such as album art, track progress, and more in a variety of styles and modes.<\/p>\n<h3>Installation of Turntable<\/h3>\n<p>For Linux users interested in tracking their listening across different players, <em><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/turntable.geopjr.dev\">Turntable<\/a><\/em> is a must-try app, reducing the need to sign in separately for each player while also providing an attractive desktop scrobbling tool.<\/p>\n<p>To install, you can find <em>Turntable<\/em> on <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/flathub.org\/apps\/dev.geopjr.Turntable\">Flathub<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For Linux users seeking a straightforward way to \u201cscrobble\u201d music, the new app Turntable is a noteworthy solution.
