Scrobbler FAQ

Spotify's algorithm for calculating top charts isn't fully transparent. While their documentation states it's "based on calculated affinity," the exact method remains unclear.

Since these calculations can sometimes differ from actual listening patterns, we recommend using Last.fm through Spotify for more accurate statistics. Last.fm tracks every play and provides a clear, verifiable record of your listening history.

Key differences:

1. Spotify's method - Uses proprietary algorithm
2. Last.fm's method - Counts actual plays
