    When Last.fm automatically sends the name of each song played by audio player, they call this “scrobbling.”

      A term used by [last.fm]. Scrobbling involves taking the last songs you played through your media player (eg. [iTunes]), and filing away the info to improve, and better tailor the songs that are played for you through [last.fm].
      After a number of songs are listened to through your media player of choice, a window from [last.fm] will appear, listing these songs, and confirming that you wish to scrobble them. The user has the option of de-selecting songs that they do not wish to scrobble.

        Verb: To [kidnap] or [capture]. In particular to throw a bag or cloth over the head and bundle the victim away.
        The term was coined by John Masefield in The Midnight Folk, published in 1827, and is used extensively in the Box of Delights, published in 1937, where Cole Hawlings is scrobbled by throwing a black bag over his head and bundling him into a car.
        Neil Gaiman also used scrobbling in the same sense in “Neverwhere”, published in 1996. Gaiman acknowledges the Box of Delights as the origin of the word.

          Can replace most verbs to indicate that an action has been performed, and that it has been logged or recorded by a scrobbler, which is a system that records whatever youre scrobbling, although the scrobbler may not necessarily exist.
