Last.fm Rich Presence

Discord is among the most popular chatting platforms out there, with numerous communities spread across countless servers, each with its own character. One of the major benefits of Discord lies in the platform's integration capabilities, whereby users can succinctly display what they're up to: what games they're playing, what songs they're listening to, and so on.

Beyond the built-in integrations, the platform encourages developers to come up with new ideas to expand upon this aspect of the community, and Last.FM Rich Presence is such an example. Through it, users can integrate their Last.FM account with their Discord profile, so they can show what they've been scrobbling lately.

First off, you'll have to provide your Last.fm username, which is easy enough. The steps to getting an API key are, however, a bit more complex: navigate to the API section on your Last.fm profile, then insert a name for your application, a description, as well as its homepage. Clicking Submit will create an API key, which you'll be able to use for the application, and that's all.

Last.fm is a platform built for music fans, and it acts as a neat way to make your music tastes known. Through this tool, users can let their friends know what they're currently listening to, as well as provide a direct link to their Last.fm profile for a more detailed breakdown.

Your Discord status will also display the number of your current scrobbles. Whenever you stop listening to your songs, your Rich Presence will instead show the last track you scrobbled.

Last.fm Rich Presence works as intended: setting everything up involves only a little bit of work, and the Rich Presence reflects your scrobbling activity properly.
