<p>Scrobbled Blocks brings your Last.fm listening history to your WordPress site using native Gutenberg blocks. Whether you’re a music blogger, podcaster, DJ, or just want to share your musical tastes with your audience, this plugin makes it simple.</p>
<h4>Two Powerful Blocks</h4>
<p><strong>Now Playing Block</strong><br />
Display the track you’re currently listening to, or the most recent track you’ve played. Perfect for sidebars, footers, or anywhere you want to show off your current musical mood.</p>
<p><strong>Recently Played Block</strong><br />
Show a list or grid of your recent scrobbles. Configurable from 1-20 tracks, with flexible layout options to match your site’s design.</p>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Live Editor Preview</strong> – See your actual Last.fm data while editing in Gutenberg</li>
<li><strong>Flexible Layouts</strong> – Choose between list and grid views for the Recently Played block</li>
<li><strong>Customisable Display</strong> – Toggle artwork, timestamps, and Last.fm links on or off</li>
<li><strong>Smart Caching</strong> – Minimises API calls while keeping data fresh (1 min for Now Playing, 5 min for Recently Played)</li>
<li><strong>Graceful Degradation</strong> – If the API is unavailable, cached data is served; if no cache exists, blocks simply don’t render</li>
<li><strong>Theme-Friendly Styling</strong> – Uses CSS custom properties so you can easily match your theme</li>
<li><strong>Responsive Design</strong> – Looks great on all screen sizes</li>
<li><strong>Custom Placeholder</strong> – Upload your own placeholder image for tracks without artwork</li>
</ul>
<h4>External Services</h4>

<h3>CSS Customisation</h3>
