Ability to blacklist certain artists/tracks/albums from being scrobbled
I suspect this may be part of the "skip" feature already, but I couldn't find any documentation on how to use it so I figured I'd write a suggestion here anyway. It'd be nice to be able to blacklist specific artists, tracks, and/or albums from being scrobbled. I would make use of this feature a lot as I use foobar to listen to renders of my own music and I don't like artificially inflating the scrobbles on last.fm from doing this.
Again if the "skip" feature already does this, feel free to close this issue. If I may add though, some public documentation on how to use the "skip" feature would be good.
The sentence below the skip field is a short instruction for this feature, but maybe a bit obscure of one is not familiar with foobar's title formatting (see https://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=Foobar2000:Title_Formatting_Reference). The expression entered in the field is evaluated, and when not empty, the track is skipped.
For example $if($or($strcmp(%artist%,"Big Url:"),$strcmp(%artist%,"SomaFM Begathon")),1,) skips tracks where the artist field contains either "Big Url:" or "SomaFM Begathon". If you have lots of diverse tracks you want to skip, you can also add a custom tag to those tracks, like skip_scrobbling, set it to 1, and then use the expression $meta(skip_scrobbling).
I'm leaving this open as a reminder to add some more instructions. next to the field.
@gix : maybe it's because I'm using 125% UI scale, I can't read the full instruction in UI:
