I used to be obsessed with lastfm before all the streaming services. Had my hundreds of gigabytes of music downloaded mostly found through last.fm similar music/artist links and everything I played on needed to be from a player with scrobble support
A couple months ago I noticed that my old account was still there. Created it in 2005. Went back to scrobbling. Turns out, its pretty fun. Just got over 200k scrobbles, I felt weirdly happy about it.
Its great fun going through lists from 20 years ago. Seeing how a song pops to the top of the list for a month and then disappears, seeing how the list changes from the normal music to stuff like HIM and other more emotional stuff and remembering that thats when I had my first break up and stuff. Seeing when I found a new artist/band and obsessed over it for a month or two… Nostalgia feels lol.
Yea it was great. If it goes back to the core it had before, I might go back to using it for discovery.
