Recent Scrobbles
Turn your actual recent listening history into a Spotify playlist. Track Down pulls your last scrobbles from Last.fm in the order you played them — not ranked or aggregated like Top Tracks — removes repeat plays, and matches each track to Spotify.
Step 1 — Enter your input
More tracks = same request, just a longer wait — there's no extra cost to asking for the max.

How does Recent Scrobbles work?
Track Down turns your actual recent listening history into a Spotify playlist. Unlike Top Tracks, which is ranked and aggregated over a time range, Recent Scrobbles pulls your last plays in the exact order you played them, removes repeat plays of the same song, and matches what's left to Spotify.
Steps
- 1Enter your Last.fm username and pick how many recent scrobbles to pull.
- 2Track Down calls Last.fm's user.getrecenttracks endpoint, walking pages of up to 200 scrobbles each until it has enough or runs out of history.
- 3Repeat plays of the same artist and track are deduplicated as they come in, keeping the most recent play of each song and preserving chronological order.
- 4Each remaining track is matched and scored against Spotify exactly like every other source, then you review and save.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from Last.fm Top Tracks?
Top Tracks is ranked by play count over a time range you choose (last week, last year, all-time) — it's a chart. Recent Scrobbles is unranked, raw chronological history: literally the last songs you played, in the order you played them, with no aggregation.
If I listen to the same song 10 times in a row, does it appear 10 times?
No — Recent Scrobbles deduplicates by artist and track name as it pulls your history, so a song on repeat only appears once in the resulting playlist, keeping your most recent play of it.
Does deduplicating mean I get fewer tracks than the number I selected?
Yes, potentially — the track-count dropdown sets how many scrobbles to pull from Last.fm before deduplication, so a listening session with a lot of repeats can end with fewer unique tracks than the number selected.
Does this need my Last.fm account to be public?
Yes. Recent Scrobbles reads through Last.fm's public API the same way every other Last.fm source here does, so your scrobbling history needs to be visible, not set to private.
