Best Self Hosted Alternatives to Libre.fm

Multi-Scrobbler is a self-hosted web application that forwards “now playing” updates and scrobbles (listens) to multiple scrobbling backends from a single place. It’s designed for users who want redundancy (eg, Last.fm plus another service) or who use multiple music sources and want consistent tracking.

Key Features

• Multi-target scrobbling: send the same listen to multiple scrobble services (eg, Last.fm and compatible endpoints)
• Web UI for configuring users, connections, and scrobble targets
• API endpoints intended to be called by players, scripts, or other services to submit now-playing/scrobble events
• User-based configuration (multiple accounts) so different people can use the same instance
• Optional Docker-based deployment for easier installation and updates

Use Cases

• Scrobble your listens to Last.fm and a second service in parallel for backup/migration
• Centralize scrobbling from multiple devices/players by pointing them at one endpoint
• Run a household instance where each user maps their players to their own scrobble accounts

Limitations and Considerations

• Depends on the capabilities and rate limits of the configured scrobble providers; some providers may not support all metadata fields equally

Multi-Scrobbler is a practical “hub” for listen tracking when you want one submission point but multiple destinations. It works well alongside self-hosted music setups and automation scripts to keep scrobble history consistent across services.
