A customizable predicate seems to be the best approach.  I shall look into
this.

Meanwhile, I wonder if there is any mileage in refactoring the scrobbler
code so that the librefm and listenbrainz scrobblers use a common core:
this is the second time in as many months where the same change is
indicated for both scrobblers.  I will think about that too.

Hi emms authors,<br>
<br>
=C2=A0Quite often I listen to music from Bandcamp, by the means of<br>
emms-player-mpv. MPV utilizes yt-dlp to fetch the audio stream and its<br>
metadata. It works quite well with proper display of the artist, album<br>
and track names, as well as showing the track length. That&#39;s enough dat=

to scrobble the listen, however both EMMS scrobblers only do that for<br>
&#39;file tracks. I wonder if scrobbling logic could be extended to the<br>
tracks of &#39;url type? Or even better the predicate could be customizable=
.<br>
<br>
Most conservative option would be:<br>
=C2=A0 (and (member type &#39;(file url)) title artist)<br>
alternatively more lenient approach:<br>
=C2=A0 (and title artist)<br>
<br>
What do you think?<br>
