What this package is
This package comes as a library and demo server (named
scrobble-server) for scrobbling via the procotol of
Audioscrobbler. The demo is merely for a demonstration, you should use
the server as a library and do what you want with the scrobbled
tracks.
It also supports scrobbling to Last.fm or other scrobbler service, see the Client module.
See the Audioscrobbler documentation for the protocol.

How to use with your music player
To use, configure your music player and change the Last.fm/Audioscrobbling plugin you have to point to your localhost.
Clementine
For Clementine, there is no such option. But you can instead go to the proxy settings and choose HTTP proxy, and enter the details of the server instead. Scrobble-server ignores the proxying part of the request.
Quod Libet
Go to Music → Plugins and check the AudioScrobbler plugin. Choose “Other” and enter the server/port of the server. The username and password don't matter.
