Ridiculous iPhone Scrobbling: "Last.fm found 3382 scrobbles on your iPod"

When I plug my iPhone in to my MacBook, Last.fm brings up the usual window showing which songs to scrobble and whatnot. However, it often gives a ridiculous figure of scrobbles, like 3382 tracks to scrobble. And then the list of songs to scrobble will usually have the right songs listen, but again, incorrect, ridiculously high amounts of scrobbles. For example, I've listened to Smart Patrol/Mr. DNA by Devo once since the last time I scrobbled my iPhone, but when I plugged it in again after that, it said I listened to it 19 times. This only happens with my iPhone, never with my iPod (which is now totally broken, requiring me to use my iPhone for music now).

Is anyone else having this problem?

I have the same problem on my iPod Touch. I'm using Windows XP OS, and iPhone 3.0.2 firmware. I've had the problem since I've upgraded to the iPhone 3.0 firmware, so it's probably something wrong with that on Apple's end. I'm also getting ridiculous plays in my iTunes library. For example, let's say I listen to Selkies: The Endless Obsession by Between the Buried and Me. It will count the total plays for that, plus the total amount plus 1. So if I had 100 plays of that song, I would now have 201 plays for it, making it impossible to scrobble correctly

I'm having the same problem with my sixth generation iPod classic. When I plug in my iPod to my laptop (I run Windows Vista) my page shows one song numerous times and it's really messing up my scrobbling counts.

I did have this problem...so I trashed my last.fm client and downloaded it again. Now, instead of that problem, last.fm freezes up my itunes whenever I plug my ipod in. I either have to force quit itunes or last.fm. The only thing that will get it to work is to re-trash last.fm and reinstall it. It's getting really annoying.

Yip. This souns famiiliar. Massive overscrobbling and ridiculous play counts, sometimes on tracks I'm not sure I've ever listened to that much.

Max OSX 10.4.11 + itunes 9.0.2 + ipod classic.
I've recently had to restore settings on the ipod which seemed to start it but sounds like its just happening anyway for others.

HELP!!!

Evidently the Last.FM people no longer care if their scrobbling software doesn't work, they're too busy thinking of new stuff to out-do Spotify, or something.

We're probably on our own now.

In the play counts on my iTunes, the iPod play counts are also overinflated [ie the latest Silversun Pickups album has barely existed long enough for me to listen to its tracks 500-1000 times each, so I think it has something to do with iTunes. I reset them so I'm going to [try] to keep track of how many times I listen to songs before I plug it in next to see if it's actually an iPod/iTunes problem.

This is happening to me too!

This is getting utterly rediculous - some albums or tracks are increasing exponentially. I can't keep going in and deleting all these incorrect plays. This is going to turn me off from coming to last.fm and using this service soon if something is not done to address this problem!! It's been happening for a few months now. I have an ipod touch.

I've tried clearing all the play counts in itunes. Still doing it - for a song I played once it's listed it 4 times. I've definitely played it in the past - but it's like it's taking the earlier counts everytime I scrobble/plug in my iphone. Can someone PLEASE tell me how to fix this!?!

The deathly silence of Last.fm support

Come on Last.FM. Pretty please. There's clearly a few people here who are getting a problem that is genuinely pushing us away from Last. This is a real shame. I've been on here for years, have recommended it to countless people and reckon its the best bit of social media out there. But. If it don't work it don't work.

This playcount problem seems to have been around for ages. And its clearly not a simple fix. We got a glimmer of interest from Knapster 01 when this post came up. And then zilch.

Do you really care so little about your loyal users? Come on. !!!HELP!!! As a special treat for Christmas have someone look into this and give us a fix. Or just fess up and admit we all have to go buy new ipods. At least then we know.
