Anyone use it ?

I think there was a thread about this a while back. You might want to search back a few months.

Thanks I didn't noticed it.

I did a search and all I find within last 700 days is this:
http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?board=3;action=display;threadid=20999

I wouldn't call it a thread as this is a SINGLE post (ZERO comments)

I am not asking for MC plugin, I am just curious who of you chaps is using this service
and what do you think about it.

Now after little search I guess no one take care about it and this post will close the thread

Cheers

For the record, I care. I think it sounds like an awesome idea. One i thought i discovered yesterday and lo and behold found audioscrobbler had already been developed.

Sounds like a low priority item on this forum. But here are my thoughts. Its only a matter of time before all content is available online. People will need more than a great organizer and player. They will need a guide to help them sort it out. The same way people listen to the radio so the dj can pick out songs that they will probably like since they approve of the stations format and vote by listening or not listening to it.

It is my belief that if you gave the majority of listeners access to all the music in the world and gave them the ability to choose what they want to listen to, they would choose the same ten bands they listened to in highschool.

A targeted guide will be important when choices are endless and the choosers are timid.

just my .02

I like it.

kaiynne · « **Reply #5 on:** July 24, 2004, 03:53:52 pm »

Sounds like a great idea, I used to do something like this with napster, I would do a search for a band that I really liked and then check out the libraries of people who had that band and see what stuff they had that I didn't. I found out about some great bands that way.

Are there really people who only listen to ten bands? Certainly not on this board I think

As a long time user of MC, I'd like to agree. This service seems really neat.

duhva · « **Reply #9 on:** August 09, 2004, 10:08:17 am »

Definitely a good idea and I too would like a MC plugin (so easy to say when it's not me building it).

You might want to checkout Yahoo! Launchcast, which lets you rate each song and adjusts your streaming playlist accordingly, the idea being that you build your own personal radio station.

No idea. Did you try their site?

Michael Horton · « **Reply #16 on:** August 14, 2004, 09:56:51 am »

Yesterday, I tried their site and complained that there was no Media center plugin. I'll look now . . . . .

Copy all files to the plugin directory.
Register MCScrobbler.dll.
Open Media Center go to tools>plugin manager and choose add plugin and point to MCScrobbler.dll.
Restart Media Center and you should see AudioScrobber in the plugin list.

Works great, it's pretty cool!

pank2002 · « **Reply #19 on:** August 14, 2004, 02:24:37 pm »

Just to share my new knowleged (Thanks to google:)

You register by choosing Start / Run and then type:

regsvr32 [the path of MCScrobbler.dll]

[regsvr32 is in the windows system directory -- JimH edit]

drosoph · « **Reply #20 on:** August 14, 2004, 03:09:03 pm »

Thanks guys .. Im up and running now .. MUCH better ...
Looks like it's working !

QUICK QUESTION: What are the criteria before it "submits" .. Is it a duration? What causes the submission?

pank2002 · « **Reply #21 on:** August 14, 2004, 03:16:03 pm »

It just submits it to the server when the song start's playing. You can see what a person is currently playing.

drosoph · « **Reply #22 on:** August 14, 2004, 03:27:51 pm »

Actually, it submits when the song hits 50% of the total play time ...
And, that's my group .... feel free to join

c1c9k72 · « **Reply #23 on:** August 14, 2004, 03:45:44 pm »

Just DLed this, and it's pretty interesting.

Though, I'm curious why it's transmitting the Album Artist (Auto) instead of the Artist listed in the library ? Anybody else having this happen, or is it just me?

yeah... I should've figured by looking at the username

So can I be vice president since I was the first member to join

So, to the dev of the plugin or anyone els, would it be possible to enter audioscrobbler directly from within MC? That would be super cool.

paulr · « **Reply #25 on:** August 14, 2004, 04:39:25 pm »

I just signed up and I think it'll be interesting to see how this all works once I've gotten a good sized history with them. I also joined the MC group.

pank2002 · « **Reply #28 on:** August 14, 2004, 06:25:13 pm »

Gamer,
try doing it in commandline. Start dos and loacate the plugin polder (ie cd progam files\J river ...)

type regsvr32 MCScrobbler.dll when you in the folder.

check for spelling mistakes.

when using the run it might have to be in quotes, I'm not sure.

How do you configue the plugin to give it your audioscrobbler username/password?

paulr · « **Reply #31 on:** August 14, 2004, 08:07:28 pm »

In the tree on the left, click on Plug-ins, then click on Audioscrobbler. The username and password fields should show up.

Mine restarts automatically every time I open MC. Are you on a dial-up or cable connection?

Has anyone else had the problem of this plug-in scrobbling video files as well as music ? I'd be curious if it does it with image files too.

Is anyone using Last.FM in conjunction with audioscrobbler?

The streamed song does not pass through the tags - song name, title, etc.

Also, can you get your own personal stream thru Last.FM into MC?

I like Audioscrobbler. Indeed.

According to the site (before it went down again), lastfm and audioscrobbler share the same team, the same hardware, username/pw, etc.

There's an article in wired about them:
