## Never Asked Questions
### Why not Last.fm / Libre.fm?
### Why not Last.fm / Libre.fm / GNU FM?
Maloja is self-hosted. You will always be able to access your data, and not have to trust anyone to provide an API for it. Your library is not synced with any public or official music database, so you can follow your own tagging schema or even group associated artists together in your charts.

Maloja also gets rid of all the extra stuff: social networking, radios, recommendations, etc. It only keeps track of your listening history and lets you analyze it.
Maloja gets rid of all the extra stuff: social networking, radios, recommendations, etc. It only keeps track of your listening history and lets you analyze it. This focus on its core allows it to potentially implement much better database features. One example: Maloja supports multiple artists per track. This means artists who are often just "featuring" in the track title get a place in your charts, and collaborations between several artists finally get credited to all participants.
### Why Maloja?
I like to name my projects after regions in Grisons, Switzerland. Don't waste your time trying to find a connection, I just picked one at random. Do visit Maloja though. It's a great pass to drive.
Maloja's database has one big advantage: It supports multiple artists per track. This means artists who are often just "featuring" in the track title get a place in your charts, and collaborations between several artists finally get credited to all participants. This allows you to get an actual idea of your artist preferences over time.

If you didn't install Maloja from the package (and therefore don't have it in `/opt/maloja`), every command needs to be executed from the Maloja directory and led with `./`. Otherwise, all commands work in any location and without the prefix.
1) In order to scrobble your music from Plex Web, install the included Chrome extension. Make sure to enter the random key Maloja generates on first startup in the extension.
