    Move all scrobbles to the correct artist

    In my library, there's loads of scrobbles for "Prodigy" (the American rapper) that belong to "The Prodigy" (the British techno group). There's no doubt what artist these songs belong to as both the albums and song titles in no way collide with anything the American rapper has ever released.

    Still, the scrobbles (that come from Spotify) are identified as the American rapper. This is annoying, since it pollutes my library with music I don't like. Is it not possible to move all of these scrobbles from "Prodigy" to "The Prodigy", and shouldn't Last.fm's auto-tagging and correction algorithm do this automatically?

    You can vote for the tracks to be redirected from one artist to another but manual intervention by staff is required to put a track level indirection into effect. I have campaigned for moderators being allowed to do this here

    Where and how do I do this voting?

    On the track page at the bottom of the main right column there is a link Is this track name wrong or misspelt? Suggest a correction.

    Ah, that's the most subtle piece of functionality I've seen in a while. While it utterly sucks that I have to open each and every one of my 122 mislabeled scrobbles and "suggest a correction", it's at least good that I can.

    Thanks!

    A couple of useful resources

    There is a group, the auto-correct correction brigade, where you can lobby for help and support in this task.

    Also there is a list of all the corrected tracks in your library at /user/_/library/moderatedtracks.
