💖 QTSCROB(1) — bestie edition 💖

okay so you found the qtscrob page in the General Commands Manual?? periodt, you're in the right place. sit down, hydrate, let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

qtscrob — a last.fm and libre.fm submitter for portable devices. literally that's the whole job description bestie 💅

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

qtscrob [options]

no args required, just vibes and flags ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

okay so this program follows the usual GNU command line syntax — you know the drill — and long options start with two dashes (-). here's the full rundown, no skips, no cap:

  • -c, --config — optional location of the config file. if you don't say anything, qtscrob just uses the default platform-specific location for its config file, e.g. ~/.config/qtscrob.conf on Linux, the Registry on Windows, etc. the way that specifying a config location lets qtscrob run in portable mode?? iconic behaviour honestly 🧚
  • -h, --help — show summary of options. your lil cheat sheet, we love her 💖
  • -v, --verbose <level> — output verbosity level. yes queen, tell me everything 💀

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

QTScrobbler is a program that submits info about tracks you've listened to from a portable music player up to last.fm (previously known as Audioscrobbler), libre.fm, and/or a custom site of your choice. yes, your choice, main character energy 🌟

so where does it get all that track info from? it can read it from:

  • .scrobbler.log files (i.e. produced by the open Rockbox firmware)
  • iPod databases
  • devices that use MTP (aka Plays for Sure)

and that's not even the whole serve, because on top of that, QTScrobbler can adjust the date/time information relating to when the track was listened to before uploading. super useful if your device is set to a different timezone than the machine you're uploading from — the classic timezone betrayal, we've all been there 😭

QTScrobbler also lets you view and edit the track information before uploading. review before you post, bestie, that's the rule 🙈
