Heady days indeed. More importantly I opened a Last.FM account and sent my first scrobble!</p> <p>Scrobbling is at it&rsquo;s core sending an event to a service to log the fact that you listened to a music track. Since then the social parts of the website have been slowly stripped to nothing, the inbuilt music player has been replaced with YouTube Music (another day another topic on that disaster, and the loss of utility of streaming music services). The moveing of the remaining useful bits behind a premium subscription has also pushed me further and further away.</p>
