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 and ListenBrainz) when you play a track, and you can then get music recommendations and view you listening history and statistics at Last.fm.
Before the release of a new version of SLS, it will be available here to test for one week in the Beta Testing Versions link.
More info about scrobbling can be found on Last.fm's FAQ.

(a) Uses the Scrobble Droid API - identifies under "Enabled apps" as "Scrobble Droid Apps".
(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.
Note. SLS should work on any device that can install it, and that can run one of the music apps above.
