Comment 1 for bug 669273

I do not know of any other DJ software that scrobbles tracks, and this would definitely raise Mixxx's profile even more.

I think that the scrobbling would work best if the following options were available::
1) srobble at the end of set, instead of on the fly (just in case the scrobbling affects latency, CPU, etc.)
2) scrobble each song as it is played
3) turn off scrobbling (default)

Also, this would be fantastic if it could record how long each song was played, and at what exact moment from the beginning of a set. Therefore, mashups, crazy sampling and scratching sessions would still record the songs used. But again, this feature should be something that is turned off by default, and there should be something like 'minimum playing time' so that only songs that are played for longer than this would be recorded. (i.e. if you set the 'minumum playing time' to one minute, then samples and scratches that are shorter than this will not be scrobbled or recorded).

Currently, I am working on a bash script that will in some way cover this issue for the moment. By running Mixxx from the command line as "mixxx -v", the file name and location of the song are output - so it should be possible to get all the information necessary for scrobbling from that...

I will post it up as soon I have something worthwhile, but there will people out there who can do a much better job of it, I am sure!
