That's some mysterious Last.fm feature, as I recall. They -get- the data (obviously), but since it is flagged as radio, they don't show it as part of your usual play history. It is supposed to be stored there and used as part of the recommendation process, though I would assume with a lower 'priority' than local music. http://www.last.fm/api/submissions lists this as the 'source' type to be sent as part of the scrobbling submission: The source of the track. Required, must be one of the following codes: Code: -------------------- P Chosen by the user (the most common value, unless you have a reason for choosing otherwise, use this). R Non-personalised broadcast (e.g. Shoutcast, BBC Radio 1). E Personalised recommendation except Last.fm (e.g. Pandora, Launchcast). L Last.fm (any mode). In this case, the 5-digit Last.fm recommendation key must be appended to this source ID to prove the validity of the submission (for example, "o[0]=L1b48a"). U Source unknown. -------------------- So, clearly, according to last.fm docs, Pandora and such should be type E... But they seem to behave badly with that. Rhapsody 'channels' (and slacker, radioio, etc) would be 'R', I would think.. they may be unique randomly generated lists, but it's still not that specifically tuned to your tastes, and much closer to broadcast... but then they handle that oddly, too.. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72132 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
