Summary0010167: Last.fm scrobbling
DescriptionThis seems to be a common request for MMA (5 requests).

Short term we should be able to rely on MMA syncing playcounts to MMW, and the MMW scrobbler making the submission.

Long term, we may want to integrate this.

It seems that many users prefer relying on external apps for this purpose and so we only need to implement 3rd party API callbacks. Note that in the future, we might rather implement our own scrobbler in MMA, but it doesn't seem to be really urgent.

The APIs:
https://github.com/c99koder/lastfm-android/wiki/scrobbler-interface
https://code.google.com/p/scrobbledroid/wiki/DeveloperAPI
https://code.google.com/p/a-simple-lastfm-scrobbler/wiki/Developers

These are APIs of the most used scrobblers, we should support particularly the first one, the other subject to implementation complexity.

Note that:
1) The official last-fm app is kind of heavy, and not as preferred by users: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fm.last.android

2) Scrobble droid is really lightweight, but not as popular as simple last fm:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.jjc1138.android.scrobbler

3) Simple last fm is really lightweight (112kb) and well liked:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adam.aslfms

So my inclination would be to build for 1) and 3), and I suspect that most of our users would prefer 3) over 1).

Since it should be quite easy to implement, I hope that we'll support all of them, but we'll see...

Please Note that Simple Last.fm uses Scrobbling protocol 1.2.1 like MMW and can interfere is MMW scrobbling.

Verified with Simple Last.fm scrobbler, users also report it works with Droid Last.fm and the official Last.fm App.
