Hello, as an audiophile I’m searching for a player with local statistics, I’d like to maintain my datas (listens, favs, etc) locally in my drive and, if possible, sync these infos thru something like Syncthing to another PC. Would be nicer a player that shows these stats in a cool way, similar to streaming services like Spotify.

    I am specifically referring to what is colloquially known as ‘scrobbling’, though Last.fm kind of owns the term but there are open alternatives and you can in theory host those open alternatives yourself if you are chronically allergic to relying on corporate services. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last.fm#Scrobbling

    I am asking why you wouldn’t simply use Last.FM, or it’s alternatives, where you enter a mutually beneficial relationship in which they do all the work and give you aggregate statistics, and you give them listening statistics that they can use to make money in return.
