About:
Mpdas is a lightweight C++ client designed to submit music playback data to the Audioscrobbler (Last.fm) scrobbling service. It integrates directly with the Music Player Daemon (MPD) to track played songs in real-time. This provides a reliable, low-overhead solution for logging listening habits from a headless server environment.
Key Features:
  • Native integration with Music Player Daemon (MPD)
  • Efficient C++ implementation with minimal resource usage
  • Supports the Last.fm submission protocol
  • Configurable logging and daemon mode
Use Cases:
  • Scrobbling music played on a home media server running MPD
  • Tracking listening history on a headless Linux system
  • Automating music data logging for personal analytics
Alternatives:
  • mpdscribble – mpdscribble is a popular alternative, though mpdas is often cited for being lighter and simpler to configure.
  • last.fm-client – Generic clients may require more manual scripting, whereas mpdas is purpose-built for MPD.
