I'm not familiar with stats.fm, but if I were to guess, it gets that information from Spotify's API. This means we're not telling Spotify which songs are being played.

I think this might be solved with a Spotify Connect implementation #55.

Thanks for the reply! Do you have more information available on the status of the Spotify Connect implementation than on the mentioned RFE? Is someone still working on it?

Well, it's unfortunately a one-person project ATM. You can see the details of why in the pinned issues, but I'm currently the only active maintainer and I'm very busy with college.

We're always open to contributions though, so if you know how to code, feel free to open a PR.

Btw, I added this to one of our version milestones, so it's gonna get implemented eventually.
