Simple Scrobbler (SS) is a simple app that scrobbles music listened to on an Android phone. Scrobbling means submitting listening information to Last.fm (and optionally/additionally Libre.fm and ListenBrainz) when you play a track, and you can then get music recommendations and view you listening history and statistics at Last.fm.

Before the release of a new version of SLS, it will be available here to test for one week in GitHub Releases.

• More info about scrobbling can be found on Last.fm's FAQ.
• More info about scrobbling from the community can be found on getsatisfaction.com/lastfm.
• More info about scrobbling from Libre.fm's Project Page.
