    It's the only one that has the same functionality and purpose, even though it's a poor site.

    It's basically the same thing than Last.fm : scrobbling rather than listening.

    It doesn't offer the multiplatform scrobbling support that Last.FM does, as it is a music store and streaming service, not a scrobbling service.
