Scrobble YouTube on Android: The Ultimate Music Video Tracker is Here

Intelligent Music Detection: Pure Music, No Clutter

We knew that to properly support the standard YouTube app, we had to build something much smarter than a basic media listener. 

Now Playing features a brand new, highly advanced intelligent detection engine built specifically for YouTube. It runs quietly in the background, analyzing the media you are playing in real-time to determine exactly what it is.

• Smart Filtering: Our engine seamlessly detects genuine music content while ignoring everything else. No vlogs, no podcasts, no TikTok re-uploads, and no gameplays.

• Zero Interference: Just open YouTube and hit play. If it’s a music video, an acoustic live session, or a full album mix, Now Playing will catch it. If it’s a tech review, it ignores it completely. You get pure music history, without lifting a finger.

Pristine Stats and Perfect Last.fm Scrobbling

If you’ve ever tried scrobbling YouTube before, you know the absolute mess it can make of your Last.fm profile. Nobody wants their top tracks filled with titles like "Artist Name - Song Title (Official Music Video) [4K HD]".

Our new YouTube integration includes an aggressive, automated metadata cleaning system. Before a track ever reaches your history or your Last.fm profile, Now Playing automatically scrubs away the noise.

• Removes video-specific tags like "(Official Video)", "[Lyric Video]", and "(Visualizer)".

• Strips out unwanted hashtags, promotional suffixes, and extra channel names.

• Intelligently extracts the true Artist and Song Title from complex upload formats.

Your stats stay immaculate, and your Last.fm scrobbles remain perfectly grouped.

Universal Stats and Achievements

Your YouTube listening doesn't exist in a vacuum, and neither should your stats. By enabling YouTube detection, those late-night music video binges and live performance streams now contribute directly to your universal music profile.

• Combined Analytics: View your top songs, top artists, favorite genres, and total listening times aggregated across all your music apps.

• Unlock Trophies: Every YouTube music video you watch brings you closer to unlocking Now Playing's exclusive milestones and personalized trophies.

Private, Offline, and Ad-Free

We believe your music data belongs to you. Like everything else in Now Playing, the new YouTube tracking respects your privacy from the ground up.

• No Accounts Required: You don't need to link a Google account or sign in to use the tracking features.

• Offline-First: All of your stats, history, and achievements are generated and stored locally on your device.

• Completely Ad-Free: Enjoy your app experience without any intrusive advertisements breaking your flow.

How to Enable YouTube Tracking

Because the standard YouTube app contains a mix of music and non-music content, we've left this feature disabled by default so you can choose how you want to track your media.

To turn it on:

1. Open Now Playing: Stats & Scrobble.

2. Navigate to Settings > Detection sources.

3. Scroll down to the Music Players list and toggle YouTube to the ON position.

4. Optional: If you want to sync these plays to your Last.fm profile, head to Apps to scrobble and toggle YouTube on there as well!

Now Playing: Stats & Scrobble is available now on the Google Play Store. Download the latest update today and unlock the full potential of your musical journey.
