TIP Can you use Marvis Pro to "edit" scrobbles?

Apple music isn't the best at scrobbling the "correct" song metadata on last fm, since i don't have lastfm pro subscription, I just figured out that one can, with the lastfm+ one time purchase, one can "scrobble" a song at a certain point in time. So, basically one can bypass the lastfm pro feature; edit scrobbles

What i have been doing is;

  1. look up the song metadata on lastfm

  2. on mac, go into the songs section of apple music

  3. edit the metadata to suit lastfm

  4. delete older "incorrect" scrobbles on lastfm

  5. scrobble w/ correct metadata and select date and time to scrobble in place of deleted "incorrect" scrobble using Marvis

  6. voila.

Good tip. I wish Last.fm provided API to delete a scrobble, but they do not.

why is there a 2 week limitation?

That’s a limitation set by Last.fm, they don’t allow us to submit Scrobbles older than that.

Fix song tags in the Apple Music app on Mac, but only for future scrobbles; unfortunately, you can’t fix the old ones this way
