Re: [slim] Last.fm scrobbling not "fair"
I know this is nothing to do with SqueezeCenter and is a last.fm thing, but I totally agree about having a total time would be much better than total plays. I was thinking about this the other day when I found that Sufjan Stevens was high up my artists as there are loads of 30 second/2 minute songs rather than longer songs by artists I would consider I listen to more. Maybe I should get on the last.fm forum :) -- robroe robroe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14248 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50070 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Yes it is but only after one click's on the track itself, track time is not shown on one's main profile page. Looking at profile page one might think that I listen to as much, if not more, rock music than I do jazz when in reality I listen to more jazz than rock. Perhaps iPhone's "Total time" plugin is a good idea. -- ralphpnj Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels -> Snatch -> The Transporter -> Transporter 2 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/jazzfann/) ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50070 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

What we need is a "slash". Last.FM should list Total Tracks and Total Time. Have you looked for a Total Time Listened Plugin for Last.FM? I am going to have a look tonight. There are all those guys that build the badges, some clever person must have a way to do the same with time as is done with tracks. -- iPhone *iPhone* 'Last.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/mephone) Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono Blocks, Vandersteen Quatro, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Bedroom: SB3, NAD C370, Thiel 2.3 Home Office: SB3, Parasound Vamp v.3, VSM-1 Sigs Mobile: SB3, Audioengine A5 iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50070 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
