We chose Deezer as we want lossless audio. It offers us CD-quality FLAC streaming standard, up to 16-bit, 1411 kbps, while on Spotify we can only enjoy compressed OGG (320 kbps). And Deezer boasts over 120 million tracks, edging out competitors for finding rare, niche, and obscure releases. So, with so many Deezer tracks to enjoy, how can we record our listening habits and get personalized recommendations? Connecting Deezer to Last.fm is necessary. Last.fm functions like a permanent, searchable library, keeping each track we played across different devices.
How do we scrobble from Deezer? After getting a Last.fm account, we log in to Deezer and access the Sharing preference to link Last.fm with Deezer. Once connected, we can scrobble Deezer casually and even disconnect it if you want. This post shows you how to connect, scrobble, and disconnect Deezer to Last.fm on desktop and mobile.
