Multi-scrobbler can report the currently **playing** tracks it is monitoring to some Scrobble Clients via their individual **Now Playing** functionality.
Now Playing is **default enabled** for all Clients that support it.
The behavior multi-scrobbler uses for determining Now Playing reporting:
* Now Playing can be explicitly enabled or disabled globally using ENV `NOW_PLAYING=true` or `NOW_PLAYING=false`
* This only affects Clients that don't have behavior set via File/AIO (below)
* Now Playing will be only be reported to the same Clients a Source is configured to scrobble to
* A Source's Player status must be **Playing**, IE **active**, for reporting to occur
* This status can be verified via Player UI on the Dashboard
* If multiple Sources having active Players then the scrobble Client will default to reporting the track based on Source **configuration** name, alphabetically
* This is the `name` property set in [File or AIO source configs](./?configType=file#configuration-types)
* Now Playing is **default enabled** for all Clients that support it
* Now Playing can be explicitly enabled or disabled globally using ENV `NOW_PLAYING=true` or `NOW_PLAYING=false`
* This only affects Clients that don't have behavior set via File/AIO (below)
Clients can customize the Now Playing behavior individually using [File or AIO source configs:](./?configType=file#configuration-types)
