Hi all! I wrote a small Python utility that scrobbles your iPod play history on last.fm. It is made for the newer iPod nanos (6th gen+) that I didn't get to work with the existing projects. You can install it via Pip by running pip install ipodnano-scrobbler.

Is there possibly a way to do this with Rockbox on a 5th gen classic? Not necessarily with this software, but in general. I've recently deciding to get away from streaming services and got myself a Video. The only thing I feel like I'm missing is scrobbling because I like to check my year-end stats like Spotify's Wrapped.

Apparently yes: https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/LastFMLog

To enable Last.fm logging, set the option under the Settings -> Playback Settings menu. A reboot is required before this option comes into effect. This will now produce a plain text log file, .scrobbler.log, located in the root of your player.

Oh wow, that's cool. Thanks for this. I hadn't even thought to look for it until I saw your post but it's certainly going to help make the DAP life more appealing now.
