How To Make A Librarian Freak Out! @last.fm @deezer

I’ve been tracking my music listening habits online via last.fm since 2005.

It’s not like I look at my last.fm account daily but tonight, I realised that last.fm had stopped scrobbling (that’s the term for when any site that I listen to music on – Deezer, YouTube, etc. – sending the name of the song to last.fm to build my profile) some but not all of my music listening, probably sometime in the last couple months or so.

Deezer moved to a new site design recently and I also dropped from their “Family” plan back to “Premium” so I think one of those things might be what broke my last.fm accounts (though I look at some online forums which indicate others are having this same issue so maybe not?)

At any rate, now I’m scrambling to figure out how to reconnect my laptop [edit: solved by disconnecting Last.fm integration and then reauthorizing] and smartphone because it freaks out my anal retentive librarian brain to think that I won’t have a full and accurate record of every song I’ve ever listened to at home, in the car and at the campsite! 🙂
