Part 2. How to Find All your Tidal Listening History

To find all the Tidal listening history with detailed info, like the top tracks and albums, we highly recommend a versatile tool called Last.fm. Last.fm is a music discovery and recommendation service that tracks the listening habits of its users. It allows users to track the music they listen to across various platforms through a process called "scrobbling." This means that every song played on supported services (like Spotify, Apple Music, etc.) is logged automatically. Within this platform, users can view detailed statistics about their listening habits, including top tracks, artists, and albums over different time periods.

Scrobble Tidal with Last.fm for Desktop:

1. Make sure to download and set up the last.fm app with your Last.fm account. If you're new to the platform, create an account.
2. Open the Tidal desktop app. Click on the three standing lines icon located at the top-left corner.
3. Click on File > Settings.
4. Scroll down to Connect and select "Connect to Last.fm."



5. You'll be redirected to the Last.fm website in a new window and ask if you want to connect your account to the Tidal application.
6. Click "YES, ALLOW ACCESS." This will enable scrobbling.



7. When you're prompted to open the Tidal desktop app, click "Open TIDAL."



8. Open the Last.fm Scrobbler app > Scrobbles, and you can refresh scrobbles in real time.



9. You can see your recent tracks both in the Last.fm Scrobbler app and on your last.fm home page.
