Part 4. Last.fm TIDAL Not Working? Fixed!
Experiencing issues with Tidal not scrobbling to Last.fm? You're not alone. Many users have reported difficulties, particularly when using the mobile app. Don't worry–we've got you covered with solutions to get your music scrobbling back on track.
Why Does This Happen?
Tidal's desktop app comes with a built-in Last.fm Scrobble protocol 2.0, allowing seamless scrobbling once you authenticate your account. Unfortunately, this feature isn't available on the Android or iOS apps, which is why mobile users often encounter problems. For mobile scrobbling, an external solution is typically required.
Step-by-Step Fixes for Last.fm TIDAL Not Working
1. Verify the Connection
Head to your Last.fm account and confirm that "Tidal scrobbling" is still listed under connected apps.
2. Reconnect Tidal to Last.fm
If the connection looks fine but scrobbling still isn't working, >remove "Tidal scrobbling" from the Last.fm apps list. Then, reconnect Tidal by adding it back to the connected apps.
3. Use an External Scrobbler for Mobile
Since Tidal's mobile app lacks native scrobbling support, you can use third-party tools like the Web Scrobbler browser extension. Compatible with most browsers, it bridges the gap for seamless Tidal-to-Last.fm integration.
