#Discogs Scrobbler This Android app provides a convenient way of browsing Discogs and managing your collection. It also supports scrobbling releases to Last.fm, after you listened to a physical record or before/during. It is not affiliated in any way with Discogs or Last.fm

This is a one man hobby project, but I use this app myself extensively, so it's in my best interest to keep everything working as smooth as possible. This does imply that I try to use this app as a testing ground for Android features and libraries I want to try out, so if you're wondering, "did it really have to be implemented like this?" -yes.

A Discogs account is mandatory since the latest API changes don't allow anonymous searching, or loading of images. A Last.fm account is only required if you actually want to scrobble, the app won't bother you for it if you don't need it.

##limitations ###Price suggestions Discogs has a nifty feature, where it can provide suggested retail values for most releases, depending on the quality. But since this is a seller feature, you need to minimally complete your discogs seller profile before it is enabled in the Discogs API.

###Multiple devices Multiple devices are supported, but due to a limitation in the Discogs API system, every device must use a different API ID. I've created 10 different endpoints and they are selected at random at first startup, but if you have to log on every time you switch devices, make sure every device uses a different API ID.

###Multiple identical releases in Discogs collection If you, for some reason, have multiple instances of the same Discogs release in your collection, the app will only show one instance (the first it encounters). This might be fixed later if multiple users want this functionality, but requires a database redesign (not fond of that). Also, once you have identical releases in your collection the auto update feature will sync your collection every time you enter your collection view, if this is annoying and you don't want to remove the identical release from your Discogs collection, I suggest you turn of the auto update in the app settings.
