We're really excited that you've integrated this with Radio Pop, fantastic work! Tristan

Hi all, I've been making some updates to Track Playing <http://www.trackplaying.com> you might be interested in. There are now interfaces for iPhone <http://www.trackplaying.com/i> , mobiles <http://www.trackplaying.com/m> , Wii <http://www.trackplaying.com/w> and iGoogle <http://fusion.google.com/add?source=atgs&moduleurl=http%3A//www.trackpl aying.com/static/gadget/gadget.xml> . I've also added a few interface tweaks, such as showing when the track playing was last updated (to account for Radio2 being so out of date!), and the album information is a little clearer. A couple of features I've added in response to feedback include a link to listen to the radio on iPlayer, and displaying "Now and Next" information, pulled from /programmes naturally ;o) And last but by no means least I've just put live an integration with Radio Pop <http://www.radiopop.co.uk> ! If you have Track Playing open and authorised with Radio Pop it will tell Radio Pop that you're listening. There is also a "pop" button, so you can pop from Track Playing as well. This uses the Radio Pop API <http://www.radiopop.co.uk/api#input> , and is the first time I've done anything using oAuth, so let me know if the experience of authorising Track Playing with Radio Pop is OK. In the works are plans to add the ability to use Track Playing to track what any Last.FM user is playing, and also to use it via IM (using imified.com). Finally, I do still plan to add scrobbling to Last.FM, but it is just a bit too complex to make it easy to do in a few evenings! Hope you like the updates, all comments welcome, Chris
