I've started scrobbling again.

I remember that about 10 years ago, I went through the process to delete my account. Last.FM lied and kept the account.

Time will tell whether I regret this or not.

Glad to have you back. I never stopped scrobbling. Apart from feeding the obsessive side of my music hobby, last.fm helps me to keep track of where I left off on long running listening projects.

Somewhat to my surprise, foobar has a scrobbling add-on that keeps up with the current version. The only music I don’t capture is the vinyl Spin of the Day.

I too have continued Scrobbling - do frequently look at how often I scrobble certain artists and use as a reminder to revisit some artists I haven't spun in awhile
