Yep, it's still called scrobbling. I have very old tracks in my history that don't have any timestamps because of the imperfect database changeover when they went from Audioscrobbler to Last.fm. I found that out when exporting my scrobbles to use elsewhere and noticed that my earliest scrobbles weren't actually pulling timestamps at all, and it was defaulting to them all played on the same day at the same time.

Actually found so much good music this way. Good times.
