Lucky you! I forgot even the name of my account! Not to say password. Heck, I won’t recall which email is there! Almost no chance to find it, as it was long before I started using not only password manager, but even a paper notebook. All my passwords were generated funny nonsense a teenager would make up. I juggled emails too, having some ‘I don’t care about this one, and that one too.’

    I actually somehow have kept mine going strong for over 20 years now. I even have some early tracks from before they changed how the system worked that don't have any timestamps from when they got moved from the old system to the new (which was about early/mid 2005).

    From about 2014 to 2016 I was having trouble finding listening solutions that actually consistently scrobbled to Last.fm but then got it working again by 2017. I think 2017 is when I paid for a Plex Lifetime pass (back when it was like $90 and not... $750) and that was also the year the Plexamp came out and worked with Last.fm scrobbling. I've used Plexamp since.

    Also, for my 20 year anniversary I successfully listened to more music in 2025 than I had listened to in one year on 20 years. Worth it, it was fun.

    Wow, that’s impressive! Does it help you find any new music by the way? I thought whether it’s viable to replace a streaming service with a locally hosted music. With some scrobbler, like lastfm or similar.
