Turntable for Linux

Scrobble your music

Overview

Turntable is a Linux app designed to scrobble your music listening history.

It works with music players that support the MPRIS standard, giving you the option to keep track of what you listen to on multiple scrobbling services at the same time.

These services include last.fm, ListenBrainz, Libre.fm, and Maloja.

With Turntable, you can control your music player and see details about the current song using its easy-to-use graphical interface.

The design is clean and offers many customization options, so you can adjust how your song info and controls look on your screen.

If you prefer not to use the graphical interface, Turntable also has a command-line interface (CLI) for running in the background and scrobbling automatically without any visual distractions.

Turntable supports all music apps that use MPRIS, which means it works well with many popular Linux music players.

However, it does not work with players that don’t support MPRIS, so make sure your music app is compatible.

The app helps manage multiple scrobble accounts and lets you decide which players to allow for scrobbling.

One downside is that Turntable does not mention features like offline scrobbling or error handling.

Also, it does not specify detailed categories in its listing, which could make it harder to find for some users.

If you want to try Turntable, you can run it using Flatpak with the command: flatpak run dev.geopjr.Turntable --help Turntable is a good choice for Linux users who want a safe and flexible way to track their music listening across several popular scrobbling platforms.
