Way better than the official scrobbler

Discovered this app a couple months ago looking for a scrobbler that worked with Apple Music tracks not in my library. Would have rated it 5 stars then, definitely worth 5 stars now with the improved caching and integration in the new version. The only other feature I could ask for is scrobbling from Beats 1, but I’m not sure that’s technically possible?

I like it but...

recently when I have a song on single repeat it only scrobbles once.

Just the basics

Finding a regularly updated Scrobble client for the Mac is great ... but unlike other Scrobblers I've used, this one does not:

- allow you to pause scrobbling until after an iPhone/iPod sync.
- scrobble any music played on my iPhone/iPod even if I carefully avoid playing music on my Mac until after I've synced my iPhone.
- allow you to use the Album Artist instead of the Artist when scrobbling.

That final problem is pretty annoying. "Kathy Diamond & Kaine," "Kathy Diamond & Mastercris" and "Disco Doubles & Kathy Diamond" are all filed under the album artist "Kathy Diamond," but they get scrobbled as separate artists. So, to use a more pop-music example, would "Janet Jackson ft. Missy Elliott", "Janet Jackson & Michael Jackson," and "Janet Jackson."

But it's the other two problems that really make this app useless for me. What percentage of people sit at a computer all day listening to music instead of listening to it on their mobile devices. Look, I get it that LastFM's stupid rules to prevent scrobble-scamming, coupled with Apple's closed ecosystem and lack of developer hooks into the iOS music app, make it very difficult to accurately scrobble people's mobile-device listens.

But if I'm paying $4 for a Scrobble client when I've used so many free ones in the past, those features are essential.
