I was going to post a similar question. I've been experimenting with Pandora over the week-end (purely acedemic research as I am not in USA - although it didn't mind me using a ZIP code from Puerto Rico ... and I'm not there either). Obviously Slim is endorsing (partnering/revenue-share I expect) Pandora and LastFM is user effort with the pair of plug-ins. But being able to have your Pandora listening sent to LastFM/AudioScrobbler just like your listening on LastFM radio can now be done would seem to make sense (if not commercial sense it would make technical sense).
If Slim don't want to put a direct hook into SqueezeNetwork or the SB firmware to post to LastFM - how about some sort of HTTP post from SN or SB to a user's own listener or a query function asking what track am I playing on my player called X for user Y (with this password) which could then do whatever it wants - including posting to LastFM or writing to a local database etc. When listening to other people's music (radio streams) there are occasions when I jump up and run to the device (or whip out my Nokia 770) to see what is playing and noting the details is one solution but doing it from the dinner table is not always appreciated. -- Paul Webster Paul Webster http://www.lastfm.com/user/BondJamesBond ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Paul Webster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=105 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21494 _______________________________________________ squeezenetwork mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/squeezenetwork
