Scrobble a range of time from other user

[elamperti]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

(...) use this all the time to scrobble from the radio since the radio station I listen to scrobbles everything to last.fm too, so I scrobble from their username.
(...) sometimes I'm listening to them for hours and I have to manually click scrobble on every single song.

Describe the solution you'd like

Could we add a "scrobble all on this page" or "scrobble all between time X and time Y"?

I just found myself in need of manually scrobbling all of my past tracks from a lost account. Has there been any progress on this? I could take a look.

Hi @swimtrunks, I'm focusing on other sections of the scrobbler at the moment, if you want to look into this you are welcome!

Some things to consider:

• What happens if the timespan goes beyond one page of results? (e.g. 500 tracks)
• Will the user have some kind of prompt to confirm they want to scrobble N tracks?
• Cases where there's nothing to scrobble within the selected time period
• If the selected period is more than two weeks old, the timestamp will have to be modified (last.fm doesn't accept scrobbles with dates older than two weeks). Should we shift all the scrobbles forward? Scrobble them all together ? Just disable scrobbling time periods outside the last two weeks?

It may help to implement a simpler solution first, like selecting + scrobbling several tracks at once (like you can do in albums).

This sounds good! Thanks for the direction, i plan on taking a look at this in the coming days
