Waits before scrobbling
Tracks shorter than 30 seconds are ignored, and normal tracks wait until halfway through or 4 minutes, whichever comes first.
If you are comparing iPhone scrobblers for Apple Music and Last.fm, bijou.fm focuses on cautious automatic detection, reviewable lower-confidence plays, and built-in Last.fm stats.

Comparing QuietScrob and bijou.fm
QuietScrob is commonly evaluated as a focused iPhone scrobbler. bijou.fm is a better fit when you also want a Last.fm library, charts, manual cleanup, and an Apple Music scrobbler that avoids submitting skipped or duplicate plays too eagerly.
Tracks shorter than 30 seconds are ignored, and normal tracks wait until halfway through or 4 minutes, whichever comes first.
bijou deduplicates across real-time, library, and API sources, then checks recent Last.fm history before submitting again.
Non-library API detections can stay in review instead of being treated as certain, depending on your automatic scrobbling mode.
When bijou can observe the current Apple Music play, it waits for the scrobble threshold before submitting to Last.fm.
Foreground and background syncs reconcile Apple Music recent-played history so missed sessions can still be reviewed or queued.
Apple Music library play-count changes add confidence for repeat plays, especially when the recent-played API alone is ambiguous.
