I noticed end of last week that the Spotify mobile app was no longer scrobbling to Last.fm. I tried uninstalling and re-installing the app, but that did not fix it. I decided to start playing from the desktop app when possible going forward. However, today I found that now the desktop app no longer scrobbles listens either! Could this be the result of a recent software update?
This is last.fm Official Response:
Yeah, it looks like scrobbling from the Spotify desktop program has stopped working in the newest version (1.0.80.474).
Fortunately, there's another way of scrobbling Spotify from your account settings: https://www.last.fm/settings/applications
Just click connect next to "Spotify scrobbling" and follow the instructions to connect your Spotify account to Last.fm. Once connected it should automatically scrobble anything you play in spotify (on any device). If you run into any issue with this, please try disconnecting and reconnecting, and if that doesn't fix it, please report the problem in this thread: https://getsatisfaction.com/lastfm/topics/spotify-scrobbling-beta
