I don't think there has ever been a standard of sorts, but i've taken
data out of last.fm to import into libre.fm and a few other places
before.
Lastscrape was also really useful and i think you can still get manual
exports from last.fm directly but that may have changed.

Because last.fm has been around for a long time and the way data is
presented hasn't changed it just seems like the best way to process
things elsewhere. Familiarity and age more than anything else.
The files I get from last.fm are based on just giving you the song
information per line:
For Play History
EpochDateOfPlay Title Artist Album MBIDTitl
e MBIDArtist MBIDAlbum
For Loved Tracks
EpochDateWhenLoved Title Artist Album MBIDT
itle MBIDArtist MBIDAlbum
At least with Rhythmbox and ampache we can use file path as well which
is a good fallback.
In the future i want to extend cache-fm to support sending directly to
other sources as well as caching locally.
