I know that recent LMS can be configured to ignore certain tracks for scrobbling purposes - and that the definitions are comma separated lists but can they be regex?
I found the code in Slim/Plugin/AudioScrobbler/Plugin.pm - and I think it does not allow it
However, I am not an expert on use of \Q and \E and what the contents of $_ is at that point.
Reason:
I have some generated titles that are created by a .cue file that splits up a radio show ... the spoken links have titles in general form of
show name - link number
e.g.
John Smith 2018/02/12 - 1
John Smith 2018/02/12 - 2
Fred 2018/02/12 - 1
Fred 2018/02/12 - 2
etc
and I would love to avoid scrobbling them.

Code:
my @ignoreTitles = split(/\s*,\s*/, $prefs->get('ignoreTitles'));
my @ignoreAlbums = split(/\s*,\s*/, $prefs->get('ignoreAlbums'));
my @ignoreArtists = split(/\s*,\s*/, $prefs->get('ignoreArtists'));
my @ignoreGenres = split(/\s*,\s*/, $prefs->get('ignoreGenres'));
if ( (scalar @ignoreGenres && $track->genre && grep { $track->genre->name =~ /\Q$_\E/i } @ignoreGenres )
|| (scalar @ignoreTitles && grep { $title =~ /\Q$_\E/i } @ignoreTitles)
|| (scalar @ignoreArtists && grep { ($track->artistName || $meta->{artist} || '') =~ /\Q$_\E/i } @ignoreArtists)
|| (scalar @ignoreAlbums && grep { ($track->albumname || $meta->{album} || '') =~ /\Q$_\E/i } @ignoreAlbums)
) {
main::DEBUGLOG && $log->debug( sprintf("Ignoring %s, it's failing one of the ignored items tests: %s, %s, %s", $title, $track->artistName || $meta->{artist}, $track->albumname || $meta->{album}, ($track->genre ? $track->genre->name : '')) );
return;
