mpris-scrobbler is a minimalistic user daemon which submits the currently playing song to libre.fm and compatible services.
To retrieve song information it uses the MPRIS DBus interface, so it works with any media player that exposes this interface.
The scrobbler is comprised of two binaries: the daemon and the signon helper.
The daemon is meant run as a user systemd service which listens for any signals coming from your MPRIS enabled media player.
This is free and open source software.
