My co-hosts on Connected like to make fun of me for being One of Those People Who Still Scrobbles, but I can honestly say it’s one of the best things I’ve done for my music consumption in the past few years.
And in exchange, they get the joy of arguing about music stats every day - and not just once a year when Wrapped comes out. (The company didn’t respond to a request for an interview.) But I suppose in a world where most services close off and hide your data, there’ll always be people looking for a way to track it and analyze it themselves. I was a little surprised to see that Last.fm was still around when I first started writing this story, let alone that it had new communities flourishing around its data. I enjoyed this story about Last.fm’s 20th (!) anniversary by Jacob Kastrenakes, writing for The Verge: It’s an excellent batch of new features for an app that I already consider one of the finest in its category. To round out the update, Sofa also adds Lock Screen widget support and TV and movie provider details for Super Sofa subscribers. What I appreciate most about version 3.4 of Sofa is that it extends the app beyond its existing boundaries with list sharing and new Shortcuts support. However, what makes Sofa special is its design and extensive customization options, which is why it was the runner-up for Best App Update in last year’s MacStories Selects awards. The app supports TV shows, movies, books, audiobooks, videgames, music, podcasts, board games, and apps, making it the most comprehensive media organizer I’ve used. Sofa remains my favorite one-stop app for managing lists of media I don’t want to forget to enjoy later. Shawn Hickman is back with another excellent update to Sofa, the downtime/media organization app for iPhone and iPad that we’ve covered several times on MacStories.
