I am pretty sure Scrobblebrainz already does this?

Yes. But Scrobblebrainz only submits scrobbles to listenbrainz, not last.fm.

No problem, glad it helps. Properly scrobbling the tracks from this compilation was what drove me to look into making this plugin in the first place. I've had this CD for 20+ years now and only recently rediscovered it because I ripped all my remaining CDs to my media server.

v1.3.0 is out and the plugin now scrobbles short songs on completion instead of immediately. Skipped songs will no longer be scrobbled.

MusicBee Wishlist / Re: Scrobble songs shorter than 30 seconds

i tried removing the 30 second restriction but last.fm returns an 'ignored' status and doesnt count the scrobble

Could you please give some information on what the internal plugin sends to the lfm API? I would like to know what duration it sends to lfm and if there's any rounding going on beforehand.

The plugin I made works but the threshold does not seem to be exactly 30 seconds. I pinpointed the duration when lfm starts to accept songs from the built-in scrobbler to exactly 29,963 milliseconds on my machine so I set the plugin to automatically scrobble anything track shorter than that. Someone on github reported to me that they're still experiencing double scrobbles with a song that is 29,960ms long.
If you could clear up what happens here internally, that would be very helpful.

Edit: by brute-force testing generated audio files of various durations, I figured out that MusicBee 3.5 rounds up to 30 seconds from 29,467ms.

Someone already found a bug that I fixed with version 1.1.0, available here:

https://github.com/bgaesslein/mb_ScrobbleShortTracks/releases/latest

Turns out the exact threshold for last.fm scrobbling is 29.963ms so there were some double scrobbles.

Is there a way to update the plugin page I created earlier with this link? I didn't think of using the shortcut that points to the latest release at github so the download button still points to 1.0.0.

I made a plugin that does this automatically, for anyone still looking for it:

Plugins / Automatically scrobble short tracks to last.fm

I created a plugin (based on TrevTV's ScrobbleItem) that automatically scrobbles tracks shorter than 30 seconds to last.fm:
