Simple Last.fm Scrobbler (SLS) is a simple app that scrobbles music listened to on an Android phone. Scrobbling means submitting listening information to Last.fm (and optionally/additionally Libre.fm) when you play a track, and you can then get music recommendations and view you listening history and statistics at Last.fm.
More info about scrobbling can be found on Last.fm's FAQ.
If anyone wants to take part in developing this app further, I'm looking for contributors. Please email me.
If you need inspiration on stuff to do, you might want to have a look at the list of issues.

(b) It presents itself to SLS as the Android Music Player. This means that it won't show up under "Enabled apps" under its real name, but under Android Music Player.
