last.fm Options

[me1issaaaa]

Kayso, I've found the song/band I want on Audioscrobbler/last.fm, but I have no idea how to use this. Someone help me pwease? [:


Thumbed.

I've already downloaded the Audioscrobbler thing onto my computer that goes with Winamp. What's next? How do I play the music? I feel dumb.

Oh, you can't choose a song to play on last.fm...it's only like a big database of records of what people listen to. Not an actual onilne music library.

Does anyone know if it's supposed to included tracks listened to on your ipod if you have the itunes plugin? my itunes counts the amount listened on my ipod, but last.fm seems to only be ppicking up on those listened to on itunes itself

[silver-rain]

Hmm, not sure about the ipod question. But you just let the music play and last.fm/audioscrobbler will pick it up and update your list when you're done listening to it.

[ApocalypseAelis]

Yeah, what she said.

I'm pretty sure they pick up only what iTunes plays, though. It's a plugin for the music library, and even though it keeps track of what your iPod plays, it's not actually playing it...so it shouldn't show up.

i'm on a mac, so this might not help, but there's a little music icon near the time and stuff on my computer nicki.. you can click on it and one of the options is "update ipod". i think that should work.

and melissa, once you've installed the plugin, you should just play the music in your winamp, then it will show up on your page... the site itself isn't a player (well, there is that radio function, but yeah). from then on it submits all the songs you listen to into a database and generates the charts and such.

update ipod only serves to actually update my ipod. it's what i use all the time, so it hasn't yet had an effect on my last.fm

[william]

wait, that actually just updates your ipod with the songs on your computer? wtf. now i have no clue.

edit: look here melissa.

[*tweeak*]

Yeah, it does. I don't know...
