Sonixd-Redux

Scrobbling

Sonixd Redux sends playback updates to your server so it can track play counts and scrobble to external services like Last.fm.

---

Enabling scrobbling

Go to Settings → Playback and enable Scrobble.

When enabled, Sonixd Redux sends two types of events to your server:

1. Now Playing - sent ~5 seconds after a track starts playing
2. Submission - sent when the scrobble threshold is reached

---

Scrobble threshold

The threshold controls what percentage of a track must be played before a submission is sent.

• Go to Settings → Playback → Scrobble Threshold
• Set a value between 0% and 100% (default is typically 50%)
• A track is always submitted after 4 minutes of playback, regardless of threshold

This mirrors the Last.fm scrobbling spec: a track counts once you’ve played half of it or 4 minutes, whichever comes first.

Last.fm / ListenBrainz

Scrobbling to Last.fm or ListenBrainz is handled by your server, not by Sonixd Redux directly.

Once configured on the server side, play counts and scrobbles happen automatically.
