Qt Scrobbler

Initially a clone/fork from the SourceForge project by Tomasz Mon, Robert Keevil and others. Now maintained by Marcel Petrick.
The code has since been adapted for Qt5 and is now being ported to Qt6.
QTScrobbler ships both a multiplatform GUI and a CLI version.

Primary supported platform: Linux.
macOS and Windows support is not actively maintained.

Optional MTP support requires libmtp-dev and pkg-config:

sudo apt-get install libmtp-dev pkg-config   # Debian/Ubuntu
sudo pacman -S libmtp pkgconf                # Arch/Manjaro

---

Requirements

• Qt >= 6.8 (tested with Qt 6.11.1)
• CMake >= 3.28
• A C++20 capable compiler (GCC 12+ or Clang 14+)
• cmake and pkg-config

On Arch/Manjaro all of the above are available via pacman.
On Debian/Ubuntu 22.04+ install qt6-base-dev qt6-tools-dev qt6-tools-dev-tools cmake.
