wil0 Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 formerlly audio scrobbler, last.fm is an awesome sortof music/social networking/random web 2.0 site. It works in many ways, you sign up and download the last fm player/plugin, this "scrobbles" every track you play, this means it sends the info of the track you play to the server and is logged on your profile... your profiles updated in realtime, and your weekly most played artists is updated, yes...weekly. You can add friends, find people that like the same music as you, join bands profiles, see up coming gigs of bands you like, ect ect. one of the best things is last fm radio, you can use it online or with the last fm player, it lets you search for a band or "tag" and searches a database of similar artists, then plays a stream of songs (no ads!). To conclude, its awesome, check it out! http://www.last.fm http://www.last.fm/wil0 (my computers broken so my weekly most played is poor...)
webman Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 Mine isn't update that much - mainly due to changing my preferred media player a lot and forgetting to set the last.fm details or it not supporting it (Amarok, Audacious, BMP, MOC, Exaile, Juk, musikCube...)
maniac Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 Mineisn't really showing much at the moment, except where I fell asleep with I tunes playing the other day. Guess what album I was listening to . . . . Mike.
wil0 Posted April 30, 2007 Author Posted April 30, 2007 webman: Amarok supports it natively, and i find its pretty good too. when i get my hard drive back from seagate il be installing feisty, with amarok with the database on my database server, will be quicker to start up then
webman Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 Yeah, Amarok is pretty good now. I just change player that often I never get round to filling in the username & password Plus the ID3 tags on my music is all over the place. Eg. songs by 'air' are separate from 'Air'... I'm too lazy to sort them
wil0 Posted April 30, 2007 Author Posted April 30, 2007 haha air are quality. theres a program around that sorts out tags like that, i started it on mine, but for 14000 music files its a mission!
webman Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 Yeah they're fantastic But yes, 72GB is a lot to work through
localzuk Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 And mine Now the whole world can make assumptions based on the music I play
