What is scrobbling?
Every track you play gets saved to your Last.fm profile — what you played, when, and how often. Over months and years that becomes a listening history you own: your charts, your top artists, a record of what you were into and when.
For Spotify, Last.fm can do this itself — but you set it up on Last.fm's site, not in Spotify, which has had no such setting for years. Apple Music has no equivalent at all. NepTunes covers both, with Spotify off by default so you never double-scrobble.
A better menu bar for your music.
Scrobbling first — then everything that makes it pleasant to live with.
