Waits before scrobbling
Tracks shorter than 30 seconds are ignored, and normal tracks wait until halfway through or 4 minutes, whichever comes first.
iPhone Last.fm scrobbler alternative
Open Scrobbler alternative for Last.fm and Apple Music
Open Scrobbler is useful for manual Last.fm backfills. bijou.fm covers that cleanup workflow and adds a native iPhone Apple Music scrobbler for automatic, reviewable Last.fm tracking.
Comparing Open Scrobbler and bijou.fm
Choose bijou when Apple Music scrobbling and Last.fm cleanup are the main job
Open Scrobbler is strongest when you already know exactly which tracks to submit manually. bijou.fm is a better fit when you want both manual correction tools and Apple Music scrobbling on iOS: real-time detection where possible, recent-played catch-up, review modes for weaker signals, and duplicate protection before tracks reach Last.fm.
Avoids duplicate submissions
bijou deduplicates across real-time, library, and API sources, then checks recent Last.fm history before submitting again.
Keeps weak signals pending
Non-library API detections can stay in review instead of being treated as certain, depending on your automatic scrobbling mode.
Real-time iOS detection
When bijou can observe the current Apple Music play, it waits for the scrobble threshold before submitting to Last.fm.
Apple Music catch-up
Foreground and background syncs reconcile Apple Music recent-played history so missed sessions can still be reviewed or queued.
Library verification
Apple Music library play-count changes add confidence for repeat plays, especially when the recent-played API alone is ambiguous.
