"untrue listeners" aren't people that like to listen to music but forget to turn off their music players because they're doing something else. They're people that play songs and intentionally don't listen to them just to get their scrobbled song count up and make it look like they're an avid music listener, but really, they're not.

So from what you said in your post, I'd say you're a true listener.

LOL I guess I'm just traumatized 'cause I've been called a fake when I have like over 40k plays for ayu. And is not like I fake these plays, I just really, really, reaaaally play ayu a lot

Lately though I've been obsessed with Madonna, she is almost my second most listened artist, and at the same time ditched ayu a little waiting for the new album

And once, my Ipod went crazy and scrobbled 2k plays for Madonna which I was like wtf, but it wasn't like I was going to delete them since that would delete my past plays too :/



I just think that perhaps I am a fake, for people who just don't believe I can listen ayu that much, or Madonna that much, or anyone that much, when I actually can XD Specially now when I'm on holidays and stuff

Both extremes are bad I think, for example people who have like 100k plays for Lady GaGa, that's just like omg XD really? and others who have like 2 plays, which isn't a bad thing until they start judging others for having more plays than them calling them fakes

What's the point of taking scrobbles so seriously though... maybe just a little bit is alright? Not sure lol In my case, they represent how I've evolved with my music taste, and such, so I really don't want to delete or reset my account.


EDIT: I a lot
