Is Bandcamp Scrobbler safe?

Low risk

Bandcamp Scrobbler embeds Last.fm API credentials and sends signed scrobble/session requests to Last.fm.

Bandcamp Scrobbler's background script uses a bundled Last.fm API key and shared secret to sign requests for scrobbling, token, and session actions. Those requests are sent to Last.fm's audioscrobbler API and can include the credentials or scrobble parameters needed for the feature.
