Scrobbing is the act of running a program that tracks what songs you are listening to and uploads them to a social network such as the website that coined the phrase, Last.fm
This is a voluntary action and though it sounds like an invasion of privacy, the users consent to scrobbing so they can compare music tastes with the community and friends.
