Feature Request: Libre.fm support

[Phate6660]

This looks like a great project, and I would love to use it.
I use libre.fm however and it doesn't seem to be supported.

I'd be more than happy to try my hand at implementing it myself in a PR as well.
I'm just not sure how quickly I'll be able to get to it.
I'm pretty busy with IRL things as well as various projects.

As a side note: Once the feature gets implemented and I start using it
(I'll most likely end up using it daily), I will also be glad to create Gentoo ebuilds for this.

Edit: I'd also be happy to make an OpenRC service too.

Thank you for your interest in the project!

I'd be glad to help you out to create a PR for Libre.fm support.
Rescrobbled uses rustfm-scrobble for Last.fm scrobbling, and it seems there is an open issue to add Libre.fm support to it.

The issue has been open for a long time, perhaps you could help move it forward? Unfortunately I don't have time to do so myself at the moment.

As a side note: Once the feature gets implemented and I start using it
(I'll most likely end up using it daily), I will also be glad to create Gentoo ebuilds for this.

Edit: I'd also be happy to make an OpenRC service too.

Both would be very welcome!

Not sure if you've had a look at rescrobbled code itself yet, but wanted to give a heads-up that I've added some changes on the development branch that should make it a bit easier to add support for Libre.fm.

Hey, I saw you mentioned my issue on rustfm-scrobble. I had some data loss when I last worked on it - it even affected my college work, lost a fair few assignments! - but I still mean to add Libre.fm support. It's also necessary for my modular scrobbler (backed by SQLite, very similar to this one), so that was my reason for implementing Libre.fm support.

I also need to write a crate for Listenbrainz, which you may be interested in.

EDIT: Actually, it might even be better to add Listenbrainz support to rustfm-scrobble, and have one unified crate.

@shymega I've got an existing listenbrainz crate, but I agree that turning rustfm-scrobble into a unified scrobbler sounds appealing as well.

@InputUsername Yeah, I'll wait for the author of rustfm-scrobble to get back to me. I think that crate will need a bit of refactoring though. Depends on what the author wants to do... or we could make a fork?

The problem really is that its very much designed for Last.fm, and whilst Libre.fm would generally fit in quite well, Listenbrainz is a very different beast!

Thanks for the quick reply... 👍
