Is it Possible or Frowned upon to modify a scrobble?

 

  • Is it Possible or Frowned upon to modify a scrobble?

    For instance if I know that a particular scrobble on page ### had the wrong artist due to a misspelling from Pandora. Does last.fm have a problem with removing a scrobble from years ago, then scrobbling a modified version with the same timestamp?

    I guess the part I'm not sure of is scrobbling something to the past not just a current scrobble. I know the Track.scrobble call has a timestamp option but are there limitations like only in the past 24 hours, etc...

    And what about doing this on a larger scale with thousands of songs or even someones entire library? (e.g. my own)

    I feel something like this would be desired from the community yet I don't know of any apps that have this function or even a similar one. I don't think it would be absurdly difficult either (just from scanning through some of the relevant API calls). So I thought maybe Last.fm has some policy against that (I did briefly scan the ToS).

    It would only work as stated, if the scrobble was less than 14 days ago, because scrobbles with timestamps earlier than (now - 14days) are said to be silently discarded.

    You could still do it if you don't mind a recent date on a scrobble which replaces an older one.

    The only other restriction I guess (if you're bulk updating) is the rate of API calls (less than 5 per second as far as I remember)

  • hmmm 14 days, I understand why there would be a limitation, I was just hoping it would be a bit larger.

    Thanks for the reply, I think I'll re-evaluate what I want to do from here.
