Solved!! Does Spotify only scrobble to last.fm if I listen to the whole song?

Questions in the title.I dont know if things have changed. But I remember that I have to listen 50 % of the song to appear in the last.fm page. So can you tell me if things have changed or do I have to change something?Thanks in advance.

Heart icon missing for video loops

The heart and don’t play again buttons are missing when a song in my daily mix has a video loop. The interface changes slightly compared to a regular song. Anyone has any idea where they are hiding?

Artist name is hidden when album title is too long

Album title should be clipped to one line and "..." at the end when it is longer than one line in album list view because artist name is not shown at all in this case. See attached screenshot.
