When we find them, we like to cover niche projects that show off the homebrew spirit that has always been strong in open source communities.
Scrobbyl is a Python utility to sample what’s spinning on your turntable and scrobble it to your Last.fm account.
How does it work?
First, authenticate Scrobbyl with your Last.fm account:
python lastfm.py auth
Next, make sure ffmpeg is in your PATH, hook up your turntable to your audio line in and run scrobbyl
./scrobbyl
Scrobbyl will create an audio fingerprint of your track, query it via the Echo Nest API, and update your Last.fm account.
The term scrobbyl is a mashup of scrobble and vinyl. Be sure and catch Episode 0.3.5 with Max Howell, formerly of Last.fm, who built the original Last.fm Scrobbler.
