Spotify supports built in scrobbling to Last.fm and Listenbrainz . When scrobbling with third party clients, sometimes this works (for eg, ncspot fails to scrobble to any) and sometimes doesn't.

For this client, it successfully scrobbles to Last.fm but fails to do so for Listenbrainz. Is this an issue with Librespot or the implementation depends on the client itself?

Second Issue is that whenever I resume the terminal/client session after a long time, it shows the error Make Sure there is a running Spotify device. I need to press D and activate the client itself to play. My query is if the app recognizes that there is an active playback session in form of itself,why would the user need to manually switch each time [instead of automatically switching like it does at app start?]

In some cases, no active session is recognized and one is forced to reboot the application.
