Unscrobbler
This program is designed to mass-unscrobble Last.fm scrobbles based on artist, track title, or time of day of the scrobble.
For example, if you want to delete all the scrobbles by the artist Howard Shore between 11pm and 7am, that's exactly what this is for.
Operation
Settings
When you run the program, you'll be prompted to enter a few values.
- Whether or not this is a trial run (if so, nothing will be deleted)
- Whether or not to delete based on time of day
- The earliest hour to delete (will delete after this, inclusive)
- The latest hour to delete (will delete before this, inclusive [if set to 20, will include 20:12])
- So, everything between these two hours (that matches the rest of the criteria) will be deleted.
- Whether or not to delete based on the year
- The year to delete (will delete with this year)
- Username
- Password
- Your username/password are only used locally in this program. They're inputted into the Last.fm login form, and that's the only way they're shared.
- Last.fm library page number to start at (default 0)
Output
When run, the program will generate an output file detailing each track it deletes. These files are found in ./output/. Trial runs are denoted with (trial).
Stopping
To stop it, spam Ctrl+C in the terminal or close the browser window.
Trial Runs
Instead of blindly trusting this to do what you want it to do properly, you can run it in trial mode and it won't delete anything. When you run it, just enter Y for Trial Mode.
Trial runs will still output results to ./output/, so they're useful to see what it will end up deleting and maybe tweak your settings.
