Why an alternative scrobbler?
If you try to use the official Last.fm Scrobbler in 10.12 or higher, you get all the time an "Device Scrobbles" notification. It's easy to avoid. Also, sometimes, the scrobbler doesn't open or gets stuck while opening and it's kind frustrating. But, the worst of all above is that cannot cache the scrobbles.
Found an error or a crash?
Look for the logs at /Users/<YOUR_USER>/Library/Logs/iTunesScrobbler/, grab the latest file (the pattern of them are always iTunes Scrobbler.yyyy.MM.dd.log). Then fill an issue here.
API Keys
If you try to use the app building from it's sources, you first need to set up your last.fm developer keys and github token. To achieve that, modify the file iTunes Scrobbler/Tokens.swift and put there your API Keys.
