Local scrobbling

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I got an email suggesting that I add a feature to scrobble "locally", that is 
to a store on the phone, which could be exported to some appropriate formats 
(CSV, XML etc).

Sounds like a good idea, will be easy after the refactoring required for the 
new Last.fm Scrobbling API.

Could be added as a third option in the credentials screen, after Last.fm and 
Libre.fm. Just click it and check "enable local scrobbling" or something (no 
login required), and scrobbles will be stored in a local store somehow (most 
likely a database). This store could then be exported to different formats, and 
erased if desired.

Suggestions?

Thanks for this ticket.

I'd actually want the file to be accessible by third party software (say, Media 
Monkey) in order to keep playcounts etc in check. Hence I'd like to specify the 
location, as well as have the file "primed" at all times (so I wouldn't have to 
click a button to export before syncing).

In terms of format, I guess a SQLite DB would be the most flexible, although 
other users may want a different format readily available for the above 
reasons. I say make it an option?

Finally, the open source firmware for iPods etc (amongst other devices) seem to 
use an established format to create scrobbler logs (which can then be passed to 
last.fm via tools already available. More info here:

Thanks again for opening this ticket!

Sorry for the nag.. but any updates on this functionality? It's the only thing 
stopping me from using my phone as my primary music player!
