Vinyl Scrobbler

Ever wish the music you listen to with your record player or CD deck were submitted to Last.fm like the music you play on your computer, to create a complete and cohesive statistic? Vinyl Scrobbler for Android tries to make this possible, and painless.

Vinyl Scrobbler allows you to search the excellent Discogs data base either by entering the name of an artist or record, or by scanning the barcode on the sleeve or case, assuming the release is new enough to have one. If you've logged in to Last.fm on the settings screen you can then submit the tracks you just listened to.

With Vinyl Scrobbler, when a record, side, or even track has finished playing, you can pick up your phone, scan the sleeve, press a couple of buttons, and presto, the tracks appear on your Last.fm profile.

Having problems?

If you can't find your record, chances are it's not in the Discogs database, or the barcode you're scanning hasn't been added to the release. Discogs is good, but not all-knowing. You can help by contributing to Discogs.

If you have found a bug in the app, please report it in our bug tracker.
