PatchFM is a tool that aims at making your LastFM scrobbles more accurate.
Here's the current inaccuracies that PatchFM tries to fix.
- Scrobble having an empty album
- Different album name for the same song
If you encounter an inaccuracy not taken into consideration by this tool, feel free to open an issue in this repo.
Download the appropriate exectuable on the release page.
Run the following command PatchFm[.exe] --LastFmUsername={Username} --StartDate={yyyy-mm-dd}
Where {Username} is replaced by your LastFm Username and {yyyy-mm-dd} is replaced by the date you want the tool to start fetching Scrobbles from.
If you don't provide a value for the StartDate parameter then the Start Date will bet to the date time you are running the tool minus 24 hours.
Since the LastFm API doesn't allow editing nor deleting Scrobbles, the tool can't do that. Instead, the tool will create a file under the ".\patches[date]-patch-fm.txt" file. Where [date] is replaced by the date at which the tool is ran in the format yyyy-mm-dd.
The patches folder is created in the same folder where the executable is.
The file contains a list of suggested transformations that when applied will make your LastFm statistics more accurate. These transformations can be applied manually in LastFm since it allows editting scrobbles.
The only non-technical prerequisite to build and run the application is to have an LastFm Api Key and Secret. You can create that here.
You can either set your Key and Secret in the appsettings.json (without pushing the Keys) or by using .netcore Secret Manager. The Username and Start Date can be set in the appsettings.json or via the command line.
