How to use LastRedux ✨🦄

  • Run LastRedux in the background while listening to music
  • Generally speaking, restart the app if anything goes wrong
  • Tracks will be automatically scrobbled if you use Music.app (Apple Music or local files)
  • Switch between media players by using the status bar icon menu
  • You can put the app in Mini Mode which hides the sidebar and is optimized for small window sizes

Keyboard Shortcuts ⌨️

  • Cmd-1 focuses the history view
  • Cmd-2 focuses the profile view
  • Cmd-3 focuses the friends view
  • Cmd-J selects the current scrobble in the details view
  • Cmd-[ and Cmd-] select the previous and next scrobble
  • Cmd-Shift-M toggles mini mode

Known Issues 🚨

  • At this moment, there is no caching of unsubmitted scrobbles if you lose connection or if Last.fm is down
  • The app will cease to function if your internet connection is lost. Make sure to restart the app if this occurs
  • There is currently no functionality to relaunch the app after shutdown, log out, or restart—you must launch the app manually.
  • During setup, the LastRedux window may disappear behind the web browser. Minimize the web browser window or find LastRedux in Mission Control to bring the window back
  • If the web browser doesn't open during setup, the URL text can only be copied with Cmd+C. At this moment, a bug prevents the context menu from appearing
  • In rare cases, the app fails to launch due to a bug involving connection to Spotify. Simply relaunch the app if this occurs
  • On macOS Big Sur, the app icon in the status bar is too small
  • Quitting the app requires using the status bar menu

Known Apple Music Issues 🍎

  • Music.app will skip for a second when starting the app or switching the media player to Music.app in some cases
  • Sometimes Apple Music send malformed data, which will result in the current song not loading. To fix this, play something in your library, then switch back
  • Apple Music radio stations are currently unreliable, and may cause the app to crash
