ZuseMe

For those who want to track their music more thoroughly, Last.fm is a well-known and well-regarded service to handle the task, even popularizing the term "scrobbling" as a stand-in for logging one's listening habits. Whether it is from your mobile or computer, there are several ways to log the music you listen to your account — usually, the streaming service can take care of that on its own, but what if you listen locally?

If you happen to use something like Groove Music or Windows Media player, the scrobble functionality is understandably limited to non-existent. To address that, ZuseMe affords users the possibility to log their listening habits through the aforementioned players.

The installation process isn't particularly difficult, but it does involve a few extra steps to get the app fully working. First, you'll have to have the Last.fm client installed on your PC: you'll have to log in through that app, then authorize it. Upon doing so, you can safely launch ZuseMe, and it'll start doing its job.

After setting it up, the app can log the music you listen to your account. We tried it with Groove Music and Windows Media Player, and everything worked just fine. We could see that the songs were being tracked, and navigating to our account's page would show what we were listening to at the moment.

It's worth noting that both the Last.fm and this one have to be used for the logging to work: using only one or the other will not work. You can toggle to automatically start the client when booting up this program.

If you find yourself listening to sound recordings or anything of the sort, you can set an unknown track length in the settings: this is to stop the software from logging those kinds of tracks.

ZuseMe is a simple tool to use to log your Groove Music and Windows Media Player listening habits, and we can say it does the job without any fuss.
