Hi! Thanks for the wonderful app.

## Issue description:

My issue is related to play count & scrobbling mechanism with Subsonic API backend.

The app scrobbles a track as expected when track is played until the end (through the `/rest/scrobble` endpoint with `submission=true`). However, this also happens when skipping a track, either by hitting the ‘Next’ button or choosing a different track.

With my backend server (Navidrome), this counts as a ‘Play Count’. This is not only unexpected, but also doesn’t match Symfonium’s own play count tracking behavior.

My request: Can this behavior be changed such that a scrobble with submission=true doesn’t happen when a track is skipped? Or at least an option to customize it?

### Reproduction steps

1. Connect app to Subsonic media provider
2. Play a track from the server
3. Play another track while the first is in progress
4. Observe the app calling /rest/scrobble?submission=true endpoint

Thanks!

This is due to how limited the scrobbling API is ☹ There’s no way to send a playback stopped information without the submit.

Anyway I guess proper Playcount is more important than temporary ghosts sessions visible in the dashboard.

Will change behavior for next release.
