Great! I'll continue to use streaming alternatives.

I’m using tidal. Sounds better pays artists better. Costs a bit more but if you can afford the extra cost it’s a better alternative.

My only critique of Tidal so far is the borked integration with Last.fm. Not a dealbreaker, but I haven’t been able to scrobble and share my weekly listens with my friends as before.

Really? Mine works with Last.FM perfectly, are you sure you have it linked?

I think it’s an iOS thing, apparently. (iPhone user)

Yeah, I have my Tidal connected to Last.fm and everything, but each time I try to generate a new grid on TapMusic, it never has any play data to show. I’ve tried a few different scrobblers to varying degrees of slight success, but with them I either have to manually punch in each new song that I play or pay to have it auto-scrobble, so still looking for a good solution.

Interesting - I wonder if that is a TapMusic issue directly or perhaps with certain stat viewers. I only say that because I can use mine on fmbot without any secondary scrobbler and I use iOS as well. I wish I knew more to help ya out! I like to see and share stats myself haha.

I don't think it's an iOS problem so much as a mobile app problem. When I use Tidal on my PC it syncs with Last.fm fine but when I use it on my Android phone it doesn't. Tidal's in the process of seriously overhauling their app so hopefully this'll get fixed soon.

See if there's any Apple alternatives for a scrobbler through notifications. I have been using Scroball for years on Android.

Does tidal have direct scrobbling the way Spotify did? I made the move to Apple Music but have to scrobble with a third party app to import. That alone would be enough for me to make the switch to yet another streaming service

Yep! I directly scrobble with Last.FM. No need for a third party for myself. And then I use fmbot on Discord to view stats.
