Anyone still scrobbling in 2022?
automusician:
Another little bug: if you have a track-number zero, you get a missing track number on the scrobbler.
--- Code: ---$ metaflac --show-tag TRACKNUMBER 00\ The\ Real\ Song\ for\ the\ Deaf.flac
TRACKNUMBER=0
--- End code ---
Results in
--- Code: ---Queens of the Stone Age Songs For The Deaf The Real Song for the Deaf 93 S 1728570128 cee0b9f8-7ffd-4582-ac5a-ed0a8dc05015
--- End code ---
In case it's hard to spot: between the track name and the length (93), there's no track number. My scrobbler script doesn't like it, but I'm not sure it's valid for the format to have no track number, and 0 seems valid enough for me. Many CDs have a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pregap at 0, though.

--- Code: ---The following fields comprise each line, and are tab (\t)
separated (strip any tab characters from the data):
- artist name
- album name (optional)
- track name
- track position on album (optional)
- song duration in seconds
- rating (L if listened at least 50% or S if skipped)
- unix timestamp when song started playing
- MusicBrainz Track ID (optional)
...
If the data for optional fields is not available to you, leave the field blank (\t\t).
--- End code ---
In other words, it's legal to leave the track ID field out.
However, it's not clear is if '0' is ostensibly a valid track ID (it is supposed to be 1-indexed, after all) but rockbox internally uses a '0' value to mean the track ID is unknown or otherwise unspecified, and changing that assumption would would be a PITA.
automusician:
Good to know that's valid; I'll make sure my scrobbler handles it.
I'll have to look and see if there's any official specs on track listing. Changing the value without a known spec does seem too much effort. One vote for 0 being worth considering is that MusicBrainz are the one setting the value to 0. e.g. https://musicbrainz.org/release/c5729b32-d992-4283-9d86-d38bcb814a14

This is what Rockbox was coded against. It's long gone now, but unfortunately the Internet Archive's wayback machine is still offline after their infra hack.

As for CDs, "track 0" is at best an abuse of the spec; many players don't handle it properly.

Awesome -- thanks for the link :D
