mpdscribble

mpdscribble - A Music Player Daemon (MPD) client which submits information about tracks being played to a scrobbler (e.g. last.fm).

Installing mpdscribble

Requirements

• a C++20 compliant compiler (e.g. gcc or clang)
• libmpdclient 2.2
• libcurl
• libgcrypt
• Meson 0.47 and Ninja

Compiling mpdscribble

Download and unpack the source code. In the mpdscribble directory, type:

meson build

The configure option --help lists all available compile time options.

Compile and install:

cd build
ninja install

Now edit the config file at ~/.mpdscribble/mpdscribble.conf (or /etc/mpdscribble.conf), and enter your last.fm account information.

Rating / Love

With MPD 0.17 or later, clients can submit track ratings over the client-to-client protocol. To do that, the client sends the following command to mpd:

sendmessage mpdscribble love

The song that is currently playing will be rated with the "love" attribute, as soon as it gets submitted to the scrobbler.
