HowTo: The ListenBrainz-compatible channel

The ListenBrainz-compatible channel scrobbles your recognized tracks to your self-hosted scrobbler, e.g. Multi-Scrobbler or Koito.

Automatic scrobbling

When enabled, tracks are scrobbled automatically once the publishing delay is over. You can disable automatic scrobbling and scrobble individual tracks manually from the track menu instead.

Configuration

Find the configuration in the Channels tab → “ListenBrainz-compatible”.

Name your channel here, and specify the base API URL of your scrobbler.

You’ll also need your User Token from your scrobbler instance. Copy-paste it into the token field and click “Save Token”—that’s it. No browser authorization flow needed.

Once connected, you’ll see your username and can test the connection or disconnect.

Track menu actions

The track menu gives you quick access to the channel-specific actions. Not many for this one, tho:

  • Scrobble track: Manually send the track to your scrobbler if auto-scrobbling is off (only available after the publish delay)

Please note: There’s no sync back from your scrobbler instance. If you manually delete a track from your instance, LP won’t know about it.
