Thank you, CM.

It's a bug. Workaround:
$ sudo pluma /usr/share/applications/rhythmbox.desktop
and change

to

Maybe I overlooked this, but why doesn't Rhythmbox open up from the Mate

make the Rhythmbox icon appear in the Sound & Video menu, but when I click
it, the program doesn't open up, and I have to open from the command

Unfortunately it looks like you're right. The last sign of activity I
see is a question from you that has gone answered for two months. This
is a shame, as I feel like the concept behind these projects has a

It doesn't seem like GNU FM/ Libre.fm is getting much development energy any

The internet radio streams from Jamendo are very good, and they target many
specific music genres. However, I'm using Starfrosch instead mostly at
present, as I prefer to use an external player rather than a browser-based
player. The Icecast / Shoutcast streams from Jamendo are not working

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try these out this weekend.
Thanks for the explanation. It's a shame that the scrobbling data can't
be used for recommendations. What I would love to see is a
recommendation system that suggests free artists who are similar to
a non-free artist.

Very nice! I had found jamendo before, but the other three are all new to me.
That's a lot of music.

Scrobbling was a new thing with last.fm about 15 years ago, when it first
became a service and it envisioned itself as a social network platform.

desktop app (GTK) for it.

Hi chaosmonk, I'm using Quod Libet¹ (QL) for this purpose. No only can it
scrobblize to either Last.fm or Libre.fm, but it also can handle podcasts,
and it interfaces with MusicBrainz², allowing for automated metadata and
cover-art lookups. There is also a powerful scripting language built

I don't use any and I also do not have an account on libre.fm but a quick

I have made a Libre.fm account and am trying to get it to work with
Rhythmbox. I was able to sign into Libre.fm through Rhythmbox and can
see my username and a list of recently listened tracks (which I listened
to through the Libre.fm web player). I also see the option to create
radio stations.
