@mattl What I'd definitely look at when building a new scrobble service is ListenBrainz's API. While it also supports a legacy compatibility API, the new API attempts to go beyond the old audioscrobbler / last.fm API. E.g. Maloja takes the approach of supporting both last.fm and LB APIs for their scrobble endpoints. Which makes it possible to use a lot of existing clients.

@mattl libre.fm is a great project, and I had just recently read about the plans for a rewrite. While I was excited to hear about it, as I always am in favor of free software alternatives to proprietary services, I always wondered what that new version would bring to the table not already offered by ListenBrainz. I'm admittedly biases here, though, even when I'm not directly involved in Lab's development.
