Last.fm → YouTube Music

A self-hosted music dashboard that turns your Last.fm scrobbles into intelligently curated YouTube Music playlists - and keeps them that way.

YouTube Music's Replay Mix was my go-to for playing my current favorites - whatever I'd actually been listening to most lately. The problem is how little it really does: hit shuffle and you get one random track, then the rest drop straight back into their original order, there's no way to blacklist a song you're sick of, and there's no insight into how it picks anything. So I rebuilt it properly. This tool reads your Last.fm history, finds the right official upload on YouTube Music for each track (skipping live versions, remixes, nightcore, sped-up, 8D, etc.), weights the result by what you've actually been listening to lately, and keeps the playlist in sync on whatever schedule you set - with every step documented and fully configurable, a real blacklist to drop tracks for good, and a lot more than a single playlist.

On top of that you get weekly snapshot playlists that archive your listening habits, custom tag- and artist-based playlists auto-filled from your Last.fm history, and a full web dashboard with a first-launch setup wizard, built-in scheduler, sync console, history database, webhooks, encrypted backup/restore, and PWA install - so after the initial 5-minute install you never have to touch a terminal or config file again.

    The Docker setup includes a web dashboard, a setup wizard, and a built-in scheduler. No terminal needed after install.

    Quick Start (Docker)

Highlights

  • Web dashboard to configure everything, browse your playlist, fix wrong matches, and watch syncs run live.
  • Smart matching that prefers official Songs over user uploads and rejects nightcore, sped-up, slowed, 8D, etc.
  • Recency + play-count weighting so the playlist reflects what you're actually listening to right now.
  • Weekly snapshot playlists so you build a long-term archive of how your taste evolves.
  • Custom playlists - tag-based (e.g. "Breakcore Mix", "Chill Electronic") auto-filled from your Last.fm tags, or artist-based collecting every found song by chosen artists.
  • Built-in scheduler, webhooks, encrypted backup - see the sidebar for everything else.

Prefer not to use Docker?

There's a standalone CLI install too. It runs the same sync engine; you handle scheduling yourself with cron/systemd. The Docker path is recommended for almost everyone.
