What is last.fm
Last.fm is a music service that tracks the songs you listen to. This process is called “scrobbling.” If you connect Last.fm to Spotify, Deezer, or Tidal, Tipino can later use Last.fm to see which tracks you’ve listened to.
Important: Last.fm is not a streaming service. You’ll continue to listen to your music as usual on Spotify, Deezer, or Tidal. Last.fm runs in the background and helps Tipino evaluate your listening activity more accurately.
