Last.FM scrobbles / Offline music & Why I ask.

I'm curious about supporting streaming data from a Last.FM export and/or local/offline music tracking.

Reason being, it’s not possible to actually track all of the music I listen to through Spotify because of licensing issues in the United States that disable many albums.

Anita Baker is only playable outside of the US, despite being a huge American artist, and although she's had disputes with Spotify, its not just her, same for other artists like Hiroshima (jazz/fusion band), who are on both Spotify and Apple Music, but many albums are no longer available for the US region but show up for the rest of the world. There are many other examples I can point out, which is why I ended up using Last.FM, and loading my local offline music as ALAC files into Apple Music w/ Marvis Pro for Last.FM scrobbling.

I am not interested in my data being plugged into a leaderboard, so if the stipulation to adding this kind of data is opting out of being counted in a ranked leaderboard, that is fine, because the stats are for me, not to compete for top listener of anything.
