Maloja – simple self-hosted music scrobble database

Maloja is a simple self-hosted music scrobble database to create personal listening statistics.

This is free and open source software.

Key Features

  • Self-hosted: You will always be able to access your data in an easily-parseable format. Your library is not synced with any public or official music database, so you can follow your own tagging schema.
  • Associated Artists: Compare different artists’ popularity in your listening habits including subunits, collaboration projects or solo performances by their members. Change these associations at any time without losing any information.
  • Multi-Artist Tracks: Some artists often collaborate with others or are listed under “featuring” in the track title. Instead of tracking each combination of artists, each individual artist competes in your charts.
  • Custom Images: Don’t rely on the community to select the best pictures for your favorite artists. Upload your own so that your start page looks like you want it to look.
    Proxy Scrobble: No need to fully commit or set up every client twice – you can configure your Maloja server to forward your scrobbles to other services.
  • Standard-compliant API: Use existing, mature apps or extensions to scrobble to your Maloja server.
  • Manual Scrobbling: Listening to vinyl or elevator background music? Simply submit a scrobble with the web interface.
  • Keep it Simple: Unlike Last.fm and similar alternatives, Maloja doesn’t have social networking, radios, recommendations or any other gimmicks. It’s a tool to keep track of your listening habits over time – and nothing more.
