Trax is a Last.fm app to scrobble your local listens, browse and manage your Last.fm Library. Works offline and online. Trax is connected in real time with Last.fm but you can use it independently from your Last.fm profile: your scrobbles are downloaded and saved in your device and all stats are generated by the app from your local Library. iCLOUD SUPPORT Last.fm doesn't allow to edit or delete your scrobbles to third party apps, so actions like Edit or Delete scrobbles, albums or artists are uploaded to your iCloud account (if available) and are always available, even if you remove and reinstall the app. SILENT LOCAL SCROBBLING + Your local and remote listens are added periodically in background to your Library even with the app is in background. RECENT ITEMS AND CHARTS + Trax Scrobbler displays your recent listens and your charts by track, artist, or album. CHARTS BY TIME SPENT LISTENING OR PLAYCOUNT + You can choose how to display your charts, by Playcount or Playtime. SEARCH + It has a powerful search section to find any item you scrobbled in the past. STATS + All your listening stats are avaible for every item in your scrobbled Library. SHARE + You can share your recent or your charted listens by track, album or artist in custom tiled images. Also, you can: - Edit your Scrobbles (name, album, artist). - Merge similar tracks, albums or artist. For instance, you can combine two versions of a track (for example, the "usual" one and the remastered version). - Delete/Bulk Delete Scrobbles, Albums or Artists. ...And it's dark mode compatible. Enjoy!
