Scrobble
Every play leaves a trace.
A scrobble is a tiny record of a song you played. Over time, those records become a map of your taste.
What is Last.fm?
Last.fm is a free music profile that follows what you listen to across supported apps and players. That act is called scrobbling.
Stats
Your music becomes visible.
Top artists, charts, weekly reports, forgotten favorites, strange phases. The good stuff starts after you have history.
Rediscover
The archive pays you back.
A few months of scrobbles is useful. A few years feels like opening a drawer you forgot you had.

Fonk promise
We are here to add value, not take credit.
Fonk reads Last.fm data through the public Last.fm API, points people toward Last.fm, and treats scrobbling as the source of truth.
Respect the source.
Last.fm is where the history comes from. Fonk should make that obvious.
Read before writing.
The landing page uses read-only public profile data. No Last.fm password, no write access.
Grow the habit.
Fonk should send curious music people toward Last.fm, not away from it.
No fake partnership language.
Fonk is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Last.fm.
