What is Whohears?
Whohears is a free Last.fm companion that turns the tracks your Last.fm friends are listening to into a collection you fill in by listening — a Dex of numbered cards ranked by how rare each artist is.
A public username is all it needs. Free, no password, never scrobbles.
Who it's for
For you if
- You scrobble to Last.fm and follow a few people whose taste you trust.
- You want recommendations from humans, not an algorithm.
Not for you yet if
- You don't use Last.fm — there's nothing to read.
- You follow nobody on last.fm. The Dex is built from your friends' listening.

How rarity works
Tiers come from the artist's global Last.fm listener count, so the same track is the same tier for everyone. Rarer catches pay more XP.
| Tier | Artist's Last.fm listeners | XP per catch |
|---|---|---|
| Common | 2.4M or more | 10 |
| Uncommon | 850K – 2.4M | 20 |
| Rare | 195K – 850K | 40 |
| Epic | 31K – 195K | 80 |
| Legendary | under 31K | 160 |
