how to upload spotify history to lastfm
You generally can’t upload your entire Spotify listening history directly into Last.fm as a native import. Last.fm’s own scrobble system is limited, and most full-history imports rely on third-party converters or bulk- scrobbling tools rather than a built-in Spotify-to-Last.fm transfer.
What usually works
- Request your Spotify data export, including your extended streaming history.
- Convert the Spotify JSON history into a scrobble-friendly format.
- Use a bulk scrobbling tool to send the plays to Last.fm in batches.
- Repeat in smaller chunks if your history is large, because Last.fm has daily limits and timestamp restrictions.
Important limits
- Last.fm does not reliably support importing scrobbles older than about two weeks with accurate original timestamps.
- Very large imports may need to be spread out over multiple days to avoid rate limits.
- Some methods require third-party services or scripts, so the process is a workaround rather than a one-click upload.
Easiest practical route
A common approach is:
- Get Spotify’s extended streaming history.
- Convert it into a bulk import format.
- Push it into Last.fm through a scrobbling service or script.
This is the most realistic path if you want a large chunk of your Spotify history reflected on Last.fm.
Quick note
If your goal is only to link Spotify going forward , that part is much simpler than importing old history. The historical transfer is the tricky part, not the connection itself.
Bottom line
So the short answer is: not directly, but yes through a workaround that uses your Spotify export plus a bulk-scrobbling/import tool.
