Does Scrobbyl still work?

I know echonest was bought by Spotify and they no longer issue keys, but you seem to have one already.

Does this mean scrobbyl will still work?

I've been looking for a way to do line-in to Last.fm scrobbling on Linux for months now and this project is the closest I've found, but echonest seems to not work anymore.

Sorry, scrobbyl has't worked for a long time. I spoke about this about a year ago with someone, and the only current solution I think we could do is to for people to run their own fingerprint server, assuming they also had mp3s of all of their vinyl: https://twitter.com/alastairporter/status/670304727238856704

If there is some interest I could take a look at the best way of doing this. Would that work in your case?

Maybe Metabrainz should begin a project for a distributed database (blockchain ?) fingerprinting service ? O:)

As alternative :

  • https://developer.gracenote.com/ (Commercial)
  • https://acoustid.org/webservice (Open-source)

I'll try to make Scrobbyl work again !
