You run Sonos at home. You want to own your data.
Self-hosters
You run your own infrastructure and prefer keeping listening data on your own hardware.
Music collectors
You want rich metadata — label, genre, ISRC — that streaming services bury or hide.
Privacy-minded
You do not want your listening history on Last.fm, Spotify, or any third-party server.
Data-rich, privacy-first.
Automatic Scrobbling
Set it up once and forget it. SpinStack watches every room on your Sonos network and logs every spin — no manual check-ins.
Metadata Enrichment
Every track is enriched via MusicBrainz and Deezer: release year, genre, label, BPM, ISRC, and high-res album art — cached locally.
Self-Hosted & Private
Runs entirely on your hardware. No cloud account, no telemetry, no third parties — your listening history lives in a local SQLite file you own.
ListenBrainz Sync
Optionally push your scrobbles to ListenBrainz, the open-source music community. Your data still lives at home.
Beautiful Insights
A modern web dashboard with now playing, recent plays, top artists and albums, and listening trends over time.
Plugin Architecture
Extensible by design. Drop in plugins for artwork, ListenBrainz, Last.fm bridging — or write your own against the event dispatcher.
The Console.
A dense, information-rich dashboard built for music collectors. Filter by room, drill into any track, and see what's spinning in real time across every Sonos speaker in your home.
- Live now-playing across rooms

Runs on any machine with Python 3.12+. A Raspberry Pi 4 is the perfect always-on companion.
Questions.
Why not just use Last.fm?
SpinStack keeps everything local — no cloud account, no third-party ownership. If you still want the Last.fm social features, the optional Last.fm plugin gives you the best of both worlds.
Does it work with Spotify, Tidal, Apple Music?
Yes — anything your Sonos plays gets scrobbled. Spotify, Tidal, Apple Music, Sonos Radio, Pandora, and local libraries all flow through.
What hardware do I need?
Any machine on your network running Python 3.12+. A Raspberry Pi 4 is the perfect low-power companion for your Sonos system.
Is my data really private?
100%. Listening history sits in a local SQLite database. SpinStack only talks to MusicBrainz / Deezer for metadata, and optionally ListenBrainz if you enable that plugin. Nothing else leaves your network.
