# Maloja plugin

The __Maloja__ plugin enables you to submit ({term}`scrobble <Scrobbling>`) listens to your Maloja server. [Maloja](https://github.com/krateng/maloja) is a self-hosted scrobbling service similar to [Last.fm](https://last.fm) and [ListenBrainz](https://listenbrainz.org). Check out [their documentation](https://github.com/krateng/maloja#how-to-install) to set up your own server.
