Tags have never worked for me. I've always run 6.5.1 with the lasted Audioscrobbler plugin.
Though in the past few days I'm questioning the usefulness of scrobbling at all. The Last.FM site is really bad. Really really bad. It has more bugs than Slimserver beta nightly releases and user data is continuously getting lost or calculated wrong. Their developers also don't care about cleaning their databases nor does the site's focus/goals center around giving its users much control or configuration. Lastly, don't get me started on their ghastly layout and UI which is a nightmare to navigate. Originally I had started scrobbling to be able to dump from last.FM to my web site a list of recent plays. They only have a really weak method of doing this which lists only tracks and as an image. They have no concept of ALBUM from which tracks come, so I'm better off trying to get a plugin for Slimserver to do this. The other use was to find new artists I might like based on my listening habits. However their algorithms for finding "similar" are so basic I was amazed at some of the stuff they group together. Plus when the site completely wipes your neighbor lists, it makes it hard to follow even manually what others are listening to. Every problem I've ever seen so far with submitting info to Last.FM has been the fault of Last.FM. The Slim plugin does everything it should (at least for track submission) but Last.FM's POST scrobbler server is often down or otherwise refuses the data. Then you'll get a mass submission later in the day. -- MelonMonkey Bruno *'Twisted Melon - Fine Mac OS Software' (http://twistedmelon.com) | 'mira - Personal Control for your Apple Remote' (http://twistedmelon.com)* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MelonMonkey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8466 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30127 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
